Here's the wheels I've had on the car for a few years. Aftermarket 17" Technology Twists in early offsets. I really have always liked this look.



New wheels. 17" Speedline 3 piece wheels. The rears need a small 7-8mm spacer to make it look exactly as I want them too.





Car is filthy so look around that. If I keep the new wheels I'd like to eventually get them completely polished or perhaps spray the centers Arena Red.

I vote twists if they're not some bad alloy that is going to fly apart at track temperatures, like many replica wheels will. Based on look alone, I think they go with the lines of the car perfectly and I wouldn't ever change them.

I vote for the twists since they're cleaner. Then again I am biased since I have a set. The dish on the Speedlines do look nice though.

Put the speedlines on that lawnmower. It looks like it could use an upgrade.

Speedlines!!

I like the look of the twists but hate it that Porsche only made them twist in one direction. I wish they were done so that both the sides had the spokes sweeping back.

I love speedlines but on a 951, especially that color, I think the twists look better.
