Dissenting opinion: personally I think these cast wheels are heavy and really ugly.


Hey the Supreme Court does this, why can't I?

 

That's alright. We all have different taste.

 

Love Lobby's and thought I was the only one! I think they are classic in the vein of the Cup1 964 wheels... in case you were wondering what yours might look like with clear stone guards...

 

I like it!

After looking at it, I added 15mm spacers in back and 5mm in front. I think it looks good... I may go with clear stone guards too.

 

Any chance you could shoot some other angles on the clear stone guards? Mine seem yellowish and completely visible in comparison.

 

I don't have a picture handy but can take one in the next couple days, no problem. I can say that mine are not yellowing, it's a 2009 that is garage kept so maybe that makes a difference?

 

I have an '08 that has been a DD for about 18 months but is garaged otherwise... you have to squint but you can see the guards in both pics.

 

Here you go.. had a hard time finding a picture where you can see them... (finally found one taken prior to installing TechArt lowering springs - Yikes! SUV look not good)... no yellowing to my eye...

 

Wow, yours look pristine compared to mine! I've heard of others getting them replaced by Porsche as part of warranty/CPO, maybe I'll give that a try.

 

Looks good. That's my wheel of choice and on my 4s as well.

 

bought my first Porsche this past December. A 2008 997 4s Cab 6 speed, blk on blk on blk. The Porsche dealer had this on their lot with 20" Techart rims. Not a deal breaker, but another '08 on their lot had the 19" Lobster Claws. Made a deal to swap out the rims and rubber to put the 19" Lobster Claws on my potential car. I thought they just made the car. Glad I did. The Lobster's are timeless beauties.

 

Beauty and great choice

 

Applaud your going back to lobster claws although I never warmed up to them. My favorite OE wheel is the 19" Carrera Classic.

 

Lobsters for the win in any trim!
