Wheels are a matter of taste. I like HRE and BBS mesh type in silver. I have 19's but 18's are good too.

totally agree with you but do you think i will have problems when i change the offsets of the wheels, because i those H&R coilovers lowered my car more than normal

The beauty of HRE wheels is that they are custom built to specifically fit any model vehicle the customer has while also taking into consideration the customer's suspension setup. On the HRE build order sheet I must enter the suspension part number that you are using so that HRE's engineers can build the proper offsets needed and guarantee a perfect fitment for you.

What kind of money are you looking to spend, and do you want 18's or 19's? 18's are more functional and ride better, but the 19's really look sweet.

As has been said....wheels are very personal.
There are literally hundreds but all that matters is that you like them.
I'm **** on wheels and spend months photo-shopping designs and finishes on side view pic of an incoming new car.
I'm fortunate to have several Pcars and each w/custom wheels for street and track.
A couple things to keep in mind...at least from my view point.

*Porsche is a beautiful body....wheels should not detract but rather subtly add....and the static side shot is one of the poorest vantage points....IMHO it's slow-rolling down the street or the parking lot
*What tire do you want is 1st.......wheels can be made to anything
*Where do you want the whole fitment to sit in the wheel arch?
*Custom (correct) wheels need no spacers....are the right width for your tires....are the right offset for the look you want in your wheel arch.

All that said.......your white looks nice right now.
Sorry the H&R coil-overs are not providing you adjustment.....kinda the main reason many go to coil-over systems.

A question if I may....where did you pick up that back window mini-spoiler painted to car color?.....neat.

Good luck to ya.
