    Another wheel option ?

    If these are available in 19" for 997 I think they may be another good wheel option .

    too much bling bling for me.

    Imho the deep polished lip draws too much attention from the car & the groove down the middle of the spokes looks low rent.

    I guess that is why they look so good to me on this car ... becuase the 996 body to me is kind of so so and it helped give the car a better look ...

    For the 997 S I believe it's only 19" for that wheel.

    Re: Another wheel option ?

    I'm sorry, IMHO, the extra lines (or fluting?) running down each spoke are bothersome. It's like shopping for trim hardware or plumbing faucets at Home Depot (yeeeech). Everything has this extra frilly embellishment; you can't get a "plain" looking modern "Architectural Digest" style. It's like Wheel Enhancements, at least half of the wheels there look like Home Depot shiny plumbing fixtures aisle (oops..., Sorry again..., rant over.)

    I have always been a fan of wheels with large 'lips'. I like them because of that, but agree that the spoke design is a little odd for me.

    I totally agree with this statement.
    They(the spokes) are a bit too straight for the curves of the car
