+1 Way too low - and the chrome? Might as well have 24" spinners and airbags.

I will be getting HRE C21 wheels. Just gotta decide which finish...matte black or the dark charcoal are my top choices with brushed aluminum being a close second. I will also be getting the carbon fiber mirror inserts. My windows are tinted 20% btw...which finish would you guys go with? The black or charcoal for contrast or the brushed aluminum for the classy look?

Good choice on the wheels! You won't be sorry with the HRE's.

I went with matte black for mine.

Start digging through the threads for pictures to help you decide.

If I could find a set of BBS LM or LMR wheels at a decent price I'd reshoe my 997S w/ them in a heart beat.

I had BBS RGR's on my 986 Boxster S (sold in January); they were exquisite wheels. Great finish, workmanship and balanced perfectly.

I can get LM for under 4k shipped 19" application for the 997. The LM are nice but are on the heavy side imho.
