I agree with u 100% stock rims are for suckas.
Rims make a car stand out from all the rest

and the BEST thing is, I got 800 bucks more for the stock than I had to pay for the new ones *CHACHIIIIING*


I sold them for 6000 bux to a guy who works 10 meters next to me in my office for his 996 tt

I think the stock rims are not ugly, they're just for cabrios/convertibles, poser wheels and NOT for a ultimate racing machine as the 997tt.

*LOL* .... well my offer was 6'400 and his bid was 6000, so I said DONE. (complete set with tires of course)

the original price is 8'700 I think - a set.

well marc if you read carefully, then you will see stage 2 - that means, more power than a gt2 and the mod are not only for posing purpose, this mods are a must from 550 hp upwards....... I THINKKK it has to do smtg with downforce etc etc etc...

maybe the expression "posers" was not that correct, it's more an ELEGANCE line look.... thats it.

Sounds good - I can't wait to see...

So far my favorite wheels on the 997TT are the GT3 wheel, the Rinspeed 5-spooke, and the Cargraphic mesh wheel. I'm sure any BBS wheel would look awesome, too, but then I'm biased.
