New WHEELS Needed!! ADVISE, Something COOL & CLASSY!

Last night I was driving and I blew out a rear tire and damaged the TECHART 20" Formula wheel. This morning I put back on the original C2S Forks.

Guys- I am thinking about a change. I looked at previous posts about wheels but no luck!!
I love the forum- and I love the group. Can you please reply/post some ideas and suggestions on a "NEW" look for me.


-- I have the full Techart side, front and roof lip on the car.
TKS!!
(I found this image online..KAHN 20" RSX Diamonds?? with a custom KAHN wing?? Your thoughts? Did anyone have any experience with KAHN.., I am NOT sold it looks a bit much thou.)




The RUN IS STILL ON FOR SUNDAY!!

I think the kit looks best with the Techart wheels, but since you had a wheel with no front/rear lip, why not go with something more agreesive looking? I also like those wheels you mentioned but they're a bit busy. I am looking at the turbo lookalike by Marion 20", or the Rinspeed 20". Good Luck

I too have also got Kahn design wheels on my ML320 295/45/20 Perilli P-zero scorpions, I have them since July 2004.

a friend of mine used to be the dealer over here in Kuwait for Kahn Design, Ac Shnitzer and Hamman and now unfortunatley he is not

Here is a pic.



I dont know anyone in this forum who has Kahn Designs on a 997, Ive heard that they also offer them in Mag/Carbon setup so its light weight, I think they look cool but they would be even better with a nice drop

Are you sure that's a Kahn wing? It looks exactly like a SpeedArt wing.

Ask for peter!

The kahn wheels are ugly. Sorry!!

I like the wheels on the black 997 at the sema show. What are these wheels? They have an aggressive 3 piece look. I also like the Rinspeed 20's.

Exclamation

After.. spending most of the day scrolling thru many, many wheels and photos....

I think I WILL STAY with my 20" Techarts, still a classic and timeless design. (Nothing really grabbed me).

Also, many of you were asking about the mail-bride off line.. it was a JOKE of course. I am an Architect and I do photography on the side. That was a model from eastern europe.

Hey, those are my wheels!

The ones on the black 997 at SEMA and the top 997TT are the same wheel, with different centercaps. But yes, the are all Modulare wheels, and I am glad some you like them.
