I would try this wheel, I have it and it is nice, not as nice as Larry's wheel, but much better then the one you have.
I had two 997's for a few days, and the one I have now came with a standard wheel, and my first one had the thicker wheel. When the first one came out of the body shop, I immediately felt the difference (and at the time didn't know there were two versions), I called the shop that I deal with and they explained the difference, and then swapped them out for the thicker wheel.

Woozie's offer is extremely kind, and I am going to take him up on it, and test that thicker wheel before making any decisions. Points for Woozie!
As an FYI, my wife's BMW 550i has a thick wheel, and I hate it, but mostly I think because it can't be lowered as much as I like it, or come out as far as I like it- which are not issues on my C2S.
When I get Woozie's wheel mounted I will report back!

Every time I see a pic of the Techart wheel I think "must resist must resist". The stock wheel that came with my car is too thin although I am getting accustomed to it.

New tires seems like the best way to make the car "feel" new. That's what I have always felt about small sporty cars - just like new strings is like a new guitar 
But I like those thick perf'd wheels - Techart is nice too. That would really be a treat upgrade even on a relatively new car.

It feels even better than it looks. I was at CEC and a salesman handed me a demo wheel to see what I thought and... well... see attachment for the one I ordered.
