Help me with wheel choices
I started out looking for some new wheels for my 2006 Narrow body 997. The factory turbo's look great to me, but finding the right set for the right price has proven difficult.
SO, barring a good deal to be had, I started looking on the aftermarket.
I'd like to keep the wheels to $1500-1700 so this limits me from the full forged models.
Not adding extra weight is important so I'd like to stay within a pound or two of the turbo wieghts. I want to stay at 19"
The front runners are:
The victor equipment Innsbruck - not concave, but light and much less expensive than others
The Wheel Dynamics 808 - nice concave and more "curves" vs the straight spokes, and still lower priced than other mesh style wheels.
Forgestar F14 - looks nice, but I've heard tough things about availability and finish quality, let alone customer service.
Rottec Carbon RUF Replica - totally different style, but the simplicity of the design is pretty fetching.
Thoughts on any or all?

I literally went through the same process last month and I was considering the exact wheels that you mentioned above with the exception of the Rottec.
I did a lot of research and almost pulled the trigger in the Victor Equipment wheels but something about the concave design of the 808 kept pulling me in. I went with the 808 and couldn't be happier. It accepts factory lugs, the finish is great and I've had no issues. Eli @ wheel dynamics custom painted a set for me.
Hope is helps.

I recently bought a primo set of P turbo wheels off a 09, they look fantastic. paid 1700 for set delivered to my door, sold the P sport design wheels that were on it for 1200.

Out of the ones your looking at I would go 808's, I almost got them myself, but I decided to go used instead. Keep your eye on the Used Market, you could score a good deal.
808's look great!!!!!!!!
