It looks better on the 997tt than the Benz IMO. I really felt the OEM wheels had more of a Corvette styling though.

It's a shame because there were some features of the stock wheels that I did like . It was the styling which was the toughest for me .

Before and after photos.

I ordered Dymag wheels from Wheels Boutique (a 6speed sponser) and they offered to take mine on trade. I decided to keep them but I'll let them speak as to what they would offer if you purchased your new wheels from them or if they would just buy yours outright.

Duffy, I see you're staying with the CF theme even on the outside! Your signature has me in a tongue twist! Try saying all those options codes 10 times as fast.
