    What about red wheels on a red 997 S?

    I'm about to order a red 997S and I'm considering red wheels. What do you think about it? Any pics?

    Why do you say that? Have you seen one before? The grey and silver and cars with matching Carrera sport wheels look out standing. Alot of people like the black cars with black wheels .I'm just wondering if red XXR wheels might capture some of that same striking look.

    I have seen that combination on a 997s and I agree that it is beautiful. It must be spectacular on a Turbo.

    Elle,

    I would go with the standard S "lobsters" with red exterior Red is flashy enough w/o the colored wheels.

    Red is for cars. Not for wheels. Once you stop throwing up after seeing it you would most likely be able to find some nice silver or black ones. You won't be able to GIVE AWAY the red takeoffs.

    If You Like It Than Get It

    Dont listen to these people saying it will look like clown shoes. People are way to uptight about colors today. Maybe every car should be silver/gray/black and than they would be happy.

    Vikkie, Vikkie, I meant RM might make a good avatar for Elle, not you!

    Please put yours back - I miss it already.

    John H, Why do you think RM would be appropriate as my avatar? I think RM would be more like a yellow car with red wheels.

    I've decided against red wheels btw.
