Anyone have the turbo style wheels on their 997? What is everyone's opinion on doing that?

 

I don't see anything wrong with it, personally. If you are changing wheels, you may want to go for something more unusual, but to each his own.

 

I have four Turbo wheels sitting in my garage . It's the first thing i took off my Turbo cosmetically as i felt that even though they are a good quality stock wheel they look very Corvette ish . I'm not criticizing the Corvette but moreso saying that the wheels looked mis matched for the porsche ,

If you want a traditional wheel there are so many choices which can cost near the same .

I'm not selling my Turbo wheels . I'm keeping then if ever I sell the car in stock form rather than modded .

 

I got 'em as a factory option. I thought they were the best of the stock wheels. It was my thought that, if I were to go aftermarket, I could sell the stock wheels and the turbos would probably bring the most $$. Now that I've had the car for 6 months the turbo wheels have really grown on me and I like them with my color (midnight blue). Think I'll keep 'em.

 

I have them on my car painted arctic silver to match the body.

 

I have them on my C4. I know a lot of people don't like them, but I think they are very attractive. Plus they are the only forged 997 wheel.

 

I've got them as well as factory option.

They look good and are easy to keep clean................the insides are painted nearly identical color as car..........Meteor Gray.

 

Not a fan. They look better than the lobsters though. Take a look at champion or hre. You can reduce unsprung weight with a more unique look. Good luck

 

For the 5k$ difference I much rather have the turbo wheels.

 

thast what makes market..id rather pay more, save weight and hva e abetter looking wheel..yes - my opinion only..

 

I have them on my white 997s, l love them, i get lots of compliments on them and it was a must have option, i even had the dealer switch the original carrera sport wheels that came on the car to the turbo wheels. However, if i were to go aftermarket i would get HRE's for sure, well made, great rep, awesome look

 

My white 997S came with them an dthey look nice and I have received more compliments on them than the Carrera Sport whels I had on my last 997S.

If you buy some after market for a C2 S the offest is 57 front and 67 rear. Wheels from a C4S or Turbo will stick out beyond the fender lip.

 

are those OEM turbo wheels or the narrow body version?

 

I personally dont like the 997TT stock wheels.....
but just my opinion....

sport design looks better and more classic
