    Ruf 19s. I'm gettin 'em. Simple and perfect. No ornamentation. Just like the body of the car.

    My opinion is the same as SoCal Alan's, your car looks stunning as it is? Why fix something that aint broke?

    if you want to stick with porsche OEM, the Carrera Classic 19''s are great.

    I like your car the way it is. Those aftermarket rims just don't look as sophisticated somehow.

    Carrera Cup GT3 has BBS Rims, like always, didn't you notice the sticker on it, with Michelin tires
    If I were you, I would stick with the standard 19" Carrera S Rims, they are THE BEST !! Your car is really looking GREAT with those rims !!

    Crab? I thought they were lobster claws? Those Champion rims are nice if you really feel the need for a change.

    I have thought of that actually and it does keep the classy look.... How about the tires? should i stick to the PZERO's or Switch to conti's?

    Grazie everyone!

    i think that the tires it comes out with are great, mine came with the michellins and i'm very happy with it, so i don't see a reason to change them, unless your application of the car is different from "normal" drivin ;-)

    I saw those rims on a C4S and i think they're beautiful. But i don't know if they come from porsche or are aftermarket
    They are of 19" and the width of the back tires is 315

    i actually love the lobster's and think about gettin them for my 3.6 997.

    They look high-tech different and "fresh"


    Sometimes, we seek and desire what we don't have.Its acceptable. But i think your car looks great as it is!
