Avant Garde Roger mesh, there are the ones I like!!

 

I actually like the ones you have on your car, now. What do you plan to do with them when you swap out?

The ones u have r nice..."killa cam...killa who? Killa cam gorilla crew" sorry had to bust that out lol

 

not sure. keep them or sell them cheap in the classifieds.

 

this is a pic of me getting my computer 'puting.

 

killa,

Your wheel design is nice but agreed in chromium, it definitely detracts/negates the sport/aggressive look of your 997. Particularly so w/ the aerokit bumper. Have you thought about getting them redone in a matte finish (silver, titanium, or black if you like) which would be much cheaper.

Should you choose to go w/ a different set of wheels, know the northeast ain't prime market for dumping a set of chromes. However, they are somewhat popular (at least w/ dealers) in the SW and SE USA markets. So, if you're planning to recoup any $ selling them, be prepared to ship and even then it may take some time and definitely at the right price b/c OEM wheels tend to get discounted heavily...

Good luck

 

I would get a wheel that is flow formed rather than cast, they are better quality. Look at Forgestar or some others. You cant get forged for $2000.

 

Your stock wheels powder coated in either a gloss or satin black with a red stripe on the outside edge would look pretty good. I've seen it in the past.

 

I second that.

 

Why not go for a little more and get a set of cool HREs.....nothing like HREs! You're going to be looking at them every day!!

If those wheels on your car are real Turbo rims, they are forged. Going to cast wheels will be a significant downgrade

Food for thought. If you should decide to sell or trade your car later down the road, it will very likely have to have Porsche wheels on it to be considered a CPO car. No mods (according to Porsche), including aftermarket wheels.

You might consider putting them in a corner in your garage, or wherever you store 'stuff'. That might keep you from buying a set in the future.
