    The Classic has some similarities with the 612 wheels

    The Sport wheels are surprisingly good looking, I have until now preferred the Classic wheels, but the Sport looks great in these pictures.

    I like the classics's very much in the picture - though I went for the new 19" wheels.

    I guess I like the standard 19' better...Even if the optional wheels were free, I still won't take them..

    stone - the one with the classic wheels looks like standard black but the one with the sport design is basalt black i think so at least

    Thanks for the great pics, for now I have 18" wheels but will be upgrading, I like the Classic in Chrome.

    My vote is also that it is Atlas Grey, I do not think it dark enough for basalt black.

    We have already discussed this in a different thread, but I believe the info regarding the 19" Classic wheel in the Tequipment catalog is a typo.
    If you look at the tyre size on page 9 for the 19" Classic wheel it says 263/35 ZR 19. That is not a size I have heard of before.

    Agree with dhayek the wheels in the above pictures look ok but the standard 19" S wheels have grown on me big time,and i think they really suit the car now

    I really like the simplicity of the classics, think they suit the car. Mine's being built as I write. Pics when I get it, hopefully before the snow falls here in New England.

    Check the (German) Porsche website, Tequipment for the 997 is now available there. And confirms that it was a typo and that the Classic wheel has the same dimension as the other 19" wheels.
