five spoke wheels

I have been searching for nice set of three piece wheels for my 997TT. I am only interested in simple five spoke design with deepest lips in the back.

I am very picky with the shape of the spokes - don't want thick or double spokes. Here's the closest five spoke design I am looking for but needed them in 2 or 3 piece design with lip.


Any suggestions? Thanks



360 Mb5 looks OK but the spokes look short for 20" and it curves in at the edge. Perhaps it's just the angle?

Also, anyone know the difference between

360 Straight five

360 MB five

I've seen MB five with rivets so I don't think that's the difference....

SonicMS - Very nice. Do you have any picts with it on a P-car?



Wish the spokes were slightly thinner or can the edges of spoke be black?



Thanks D2 - but spoke is thicker than I like it plus not a big fan of that flare toward the edge.

Sound good, why not go for the wheel you were originally looking at:

Good stuff - thank you so much everyone. Look like I have tough decision ahead.



DST Forged - I noticed the front wheels look like it's bowed a bit. Is it possible to get it more flush/straight - I doubt it...

Most companies bow their wheels slightly so that they are able to get a lip. Another company that posted in this thread REALLY bows their wheels so I'd be careful.

I went ahead and ordered 360 forged for my P car, I sent you a PM.
