Question Opinions on these wheels!!!

Ok, whats everyones opinions on these wheels on my car? The new Boxster S / Cayenne wheel is available in our size, and i think its the best look on the 944 since the design 90. (also my windows are being tinted next week, so try to imagine dark windows)

Ehh, I don't really like them, but then again, I don't really like the D90s either. If you like that style, then I think they fit the car well. Also, in the pic it looks like the rear wheel is bigger??

Not a big fan of the all silver/polished/chrome look, reminds me of the hubcaps on grandpa's '72 impala.

Nice car, not the right wheel. Some cars just need a stronger visual queue (bigger) to balance the lines of the vehicle. Personally I think the Fuchs is the best looking wheel on both the 944 and 911.

I want 17" wheels, but i really dont like the choices, or the look on the 944. And EVERYONE has the technology or turbo wheels. I like the 16" 968 wheels, but i want 17". The Fuchs are nice, but again, not 17". These new boxster wheels are not polished, they are silver just like the D90. I saw them on a Boxster last week. Anyone else know of any really 944 friendly 17" wheels? I prefer Porsche...but other companies work too i guess.

I really like the way the Sport Classic wheels look on a 944, If I did not have my twists, I would get them

Blue: I have aftermarket wheels that could be described as a 16" 968 wheel... but 17" Check out my profile.

I'm still pondering trading them for fuchs... don't know if that's what I want to do... tough choice.
