Re: 997S on Turbo Wheels

Maybe the question is then what colour dont they look good on?...it seems to me they look good on all colours!

Re: 997S on Turbo Wheels

I can't wait for Porsche to offer alternative wheels for the TT... they are quite fugly... I'd take any other wheel for the carrera anytime... go for the XXR (or are they called XRR), they come in 305 trim in the rear, requiring no spacers, and looking great...

Re: 997S on Turbo Wheels

Re: 997S on Turbo Wheels

I don't believe anyone is "posing" these days when Porsche will put virtually anything you order for your car on it. Years ago no one differentiated between a "turbo wheel" and a "non-Turbo wheel." The entire notion is rediculous. We ran Fuchs alloys on everything,--with some minor dimensional differences for fender clearance. As with many Porsche designs it takes a little time and it grows on you. They're far better designers than I am a critic! Clearly, some of their designs are easier to clean and others are complex (e.g., the Sport Designs). I'm lucky with the XRR wheels in that any light brake dust shed by my PCCBs wind up matching them in color! I don't have to spend a moment washing wheels ever again,--and at my age, I don't need that sort of low to the ground work!

Dan

I agree completely, every minute spend cleaning wheels is on too many...

Re: 997S on Turbo Wheels

Nice one Chris, from one Yorkshireman to another. Wheels look just as good on red as on my Meteor Gray.

Re: 997S on Turbo Wheels

Looks nice, but I much prefer the GT3RS wheels if I'm buying new ones.

The GT3RS wheels are exclusive to the GT3 & GT3RS at the moment. Those cars cannot be specc'd with any other wheel at the factory and the wheels cannot be specc'd on any other models.

So unless you are buying a GT3/GT3RS your comments are invalid. If you are buying one then this thread is pointless to you as you will be buying the GT3 wheels irrespective of choice!
