Techart dilemma -- OEM lobster forks or Techart Formula IIs

Everybody: I just had Techart side skirts and front lip installed on my black/black 997S. Now my OEM lobster forks look too small…even though I have H&R lowering springs. Perhaps this because the Techart pieces extend the width of the car by ¾ inch or more, making the OEM wheels look to “inset.” I could either fix this with spacers or replace the wheels with Techart Formula IIs. One option is less than 5% the cost of the other. Anyone with Techart skirts and OEM lobster forks who’ve had this dilemma?

I have to decide by this evening in order to take advantage of ever so slight discount pricing on the wheels.

Thanks for your input. You guys (and gals) are great.

IMO if money is not a question, go with the aftermarket wheels

My sincere thank you to each of you who took the time to respond. I've decided to go with the Techart Formula II and the Toyo T1R combination. I'll post pics when the deed is done.

Techart wheels (IMO) are like boat anchors . They are heavy and the styling is quite traditional .
My vote goes to HRE's . Second place to Champion. If saving money I would inquire about the Gt3RS wheels as dealerships might discount the OEM wheels and they look beautiful.

Techart for sure. Yes, heavy, but if you arent really pushing you car, it doesnt matter. If you want lightweight, go with the HREs.
