No, I don't think so! For the if we did it part! But we can make a custom paint job without an issue to look like that.

Somehow, I can't see those on a 911. Maybe I've seen too many Escalades with similar wheels.. in 28" and up..

Actually they would look good on an escalade or a Lambo.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

For me, I prefer this look to the black with chrome lips because it's been done so many times and every second Dodge Neon had them many years ago. But as I said before, to each their own.

I do like the look of the wheels above (VS4) I'm just looking at all my options and want something that really stands out.

As for them not looking good on a Porsche... I think they do...

Why do people tend to go all out on somebody that has different taste is beyond me. But these have actually never been put on anything in the class you are talking about now. And yes, they would look great on a Porsche even though we do have some other ideas and already have done more than a few of those cars. First some D2FORGED VS4 projects, then some suggestions for Porsche wheels.



















Now for some Porsche wheel suggestions. As the VS4 would look great on it, with a big lip at the back, we do however have some more ideas for that purpose.

unfair...

the wheels u guys sell are much better than the one the OP posted.

the one that OP posted looks 'cheap' and something i see on the likes of escalades in the hood. Even the rivets seem out of place.. and what is that? black gloss with white trim ??

ur wheels have much cleaner lines and looks to be made of high quality material.

still, IMHO, the wheels look better matched for lambos, MB, BMW, and audi R8.. Somehow the lines of the wheels do not work well with the lines of 997.. perhaps little too flashy ?

do u have a pic of it on a Porsche ?

to the OP, if u like the wheels, step up and get the one from D2forged.

Well I can agree! We can make our wheels pretty much custom for our customers. Want hidden fasteners? Done. Want different color combination on spokes, inner barrel, lips? Done. Want extra lip? Done. What ever you may need and we are able to do we can certainly do it! I'll make a rendering on the Porsche 997 later today, so we clear the dilemma do these look good on the car itself!

^^ Sounds good^^

I spoke to the seller of the wheels and he doesn't know anything about them. No idea on offset or anything so I'm not going to pull the trigger.

They were $2,000 used with brand new sticker rubber. It's almost worth it just for the rubber.

FYI: They are black with brushed steel accents not white.

Anyways the hunt still continues and I'm looking all over. I love the D2 Forged but might be a little out of my budget.

Thanks
