Stolen from another thread. I think they look good. Maybe not on a red 951, but other colors, darker colors it'd look nicer

They're really nice wheels. If I had a new 996 I'd certainly prefer them to the horrid "twists."

However, IMHO they're a bit too "modern looking" for 944s.

BTW, <a href="http://www.wheelenhancement.com" target="_blank">www.wheelenhancement.com</a> is selling them for $2K in the 18" variety.

Those wheels are great in my opinion. The weigh just over 20 pounds each - compare that to the Sport Design style weighing in at 26.5 pounds.
Cost is actually very reasonable for a lightweight 18. Wheel Enhancement sells them with Pirelli's for around $3K, compared to the Volk Racing 18's (weighing in at 19 lbs each) for about $4200...
Depending on the wheels you are going from, you will probably notice a seat of the pants performance increase.

I'm torn between those and the Sport Classic II's...Heavier, but better looking in my opinion.

I think they really capture the essense of Porsche design, the blend of aggressivness and elegant design. I plan to get a set eventually.
