    The wheels I hoped for...

    I would assume the GT wheels would need to have lug nuts added, but this was the look I was hoping for...

    Oh Sh*t. That combo is pure sick. BTW how much does CGT wheels cost and do they fit on the 997?

    The Cayman wheels come close to the CGT design. They don't firt obviously, but maybe Porsche will produce them in the Turbo size as well?

    For all the foreigners on the board: "Sick" is American for good looking. I don't know how it started. However, whoever did should take it back.

    Re: The wheels I hoped for...

    Obviously, there are quite a few manufacturers who make some really nice looking wheels, I just wish I didn't feel like I had to switch wheels. To me, the new turbo wheels look cheap and from a design standpoint, the new wheels have nothing to do with the car. It seems to me that the GT wheels, an evolution of the 996 turbo wheels, or combination of the two would have been perfect. That's just my opinion.

    I was liking the TT wheels, but I have to agree with (notgood). The CGT wheels and LCD rear lights would have been the perfect touch!

    Thanks intouch1. I mean LED, but now that I think about it LCD would have been the ultimate
