I have never kept stock wheels on any vehicle I have owned...serious...but I actually like these. Not that some aftermarket don't look better, but I kinda like em'.

I love the stock wheels.

Most of the aftermarket wheels I see are better suited for cars with hydraulics, dice from the rearview mirror, and chain steering wheels.

Can you say Pimp my Porsche??

I like them also. I had planned on getting some HRE's after seeing them in pictures and listening to the forum but when I saw them for real I liked them. So did my wife and freinds. I have to say I like them more and more as times goes on. They show off my PCCB's. There are many great wheels out there but I am kind of a purist. When I see the others, with the wheel mods, they are all beautiful but are they Porsche?
Blessings,
Peter

I am a huge fan of the stock 996TT rims but not those on the 997TT.

I like them when they are ordered with Inners painted in exterior colour example red inners or yellow, However I would rather have more choices to choose from such as the Carrera 2, 2S, 4 ,4 S have the choice of 18" std for C2,C4 whilst Spordesign 19", Carrera Classic, etc.

I wish they can allow us to order the 997 Turbo GT3 Wheels or other stlyes too choose from. I really liked the 996TT stock wheels I feel that they have the traditional porsche look.

I like the stockers, too. I might some day change to something else, but they're fine by me.

I love them except that the local Porsche dealership throws them on any vehicle on the lot they can find.

They are quite perfect for the car.

Don't think the stock turbo wheels look good in pictures but much better in real life. My 993 Cup wheels look better in pictures but not as good as the turbo wheels in real life. The GT3 wheels look good in both though.

i think the design is way too busy and detracts from the (relatively) clean lines of the 997 ... okay, i know the 997tt is a bit boy-racerish with all the vents and spoilers.


it's a matter of personal taste but the more i see them on the car, the more i dislike them. i would have like to save the money and not spend the $7k canadian / $5k usd for champion wheels.

They are the nicest looking stock wheels i've ever seen from Porsche. I wouldn't exchange them for anything else.
