It is when I don't sell anything else he's looking at!

Kidding aside, I have always been a fan of a nice polished 5 spoke. The look is timeless, showcases those gorgeous brakes, and easy to clean. Aside from maybe P40, I'm just not feeling anything else. You already have a great design from one of the TOP names in forged wheels, why change?

IF it were my car i would get the Champion RG5 in brushed aluminum or the HRE Comp 90's, 93's, 20's, 21's. I would go with whatever is lighter. C'mon man pull that TRIG

The "its a toy" dude has his 997 pimped out in GOLD wheels, and everyone tells him they look "sick" (meaning good), but chrome is pimped?

I think you have a pont on some cars/wheels it (chrome) can look overdone- but the OZ 5 spoke against that nice speed yellow coupe just make it "pop" very nicely-

IMHO much better than the car on the other thread with the GOLD wheels....

We all have our own opinions though- and I respect yours- but I still like my Carrera Classic's chromed against the Midnight Blue and no it does not look cheap- a little FLASHY yes...but not cheap...

BTW, anyone what to buy the Raffalleo's, 50% off retail? Includes billet John Boothe center caps for free. Hey, they are outstanding wheels and are perfect for your 997!

SO which wheels did you choose?
