Curious what peoples favorite stock and aftermarket wheels are? Seeing as I can't get a car without the rims, I might as well pick a good looking set, throw some winters / all weathers on them, and get a separate performance set. I'm a little torn between the Carrera S II, Sport Design, and Turbo wheels so looking for some opinions.

 

Get some HREs... I like the COMP edition.

 

+1 on the HREs, their Monoblock series are outstanding. I suggest looking into 1 or 3 piece forged wheels if you want a customized setup.

 

It depends on the car . I love my competition Hre wheels with a classic racing mesh bu I selected the C20 because they are so traditional that it almost adds a touch of the race cars from the past into a modern car and I feel it blends well with an aerokit.

I also considered magnesium wheels . They are expensive (10K or so) and can get damaged on the street or track . A set of Dymags with titanium lug nuts is real nice .

 

Kraf --those P43's are awesome . They are my favorite Hre monoblock .

 

I agree with the mesh statement...The porsche design,to me,has always been kinda-old school or at least the silouette(but still modern with the changes over the years),which is why I like the mesh style and also why I went with the gold colour.Pic below..

I love those wheels as well....lets face it.....hard to go wrong with wheels!
The car MAKES the wheels!
But as far as stock wheels....never have been a fan of anything stock,LOL!

Thanks

 

Those wheels are beautiful! Wow.

 

No BBS fans here? I could never really get into the HRE look - most of their designs were a little too loud for me. I'll take another look at them tho.

 

1. Ask Wheel Enhancement which current wheel today would provide best trade-in value to them (new off car)...it varies per demand
2. Pick wheel you like that will run tire size-type you want, don't listen to anyone, but do ask for help on pics, photo-shop (if you are unable), and ideal offsets (pics again)
3. Order based on #2...ship WE your OEs (or sell em on the Boards)
4. Winters are totally dif project IMHO....not sure if you really drive in the snow, but personally I've never used OE rims.....I go for something narrower in the back, again with tire in mind (sizes it come in) and again offset.

I've had good experience with HRE, Fikse, and OZ (almost always 3 piece).....but just went with TechArts....custom painted on the 09 C4S Cab.

 

Since you are looking at factory wheels I like the Classic best then the Turbo's.
