I have a set of wheels on my TT that look almost identical to yours. While the black center looks great the web design of those wheels is the hardest thing to clean and keep clean with the brake dust Porsche pads produce!

That's true. The mesh designs take extra effort to keep clean....lots of nooks and crannies to wipe down.

Wow,
I have to agree with the consensus. Your car looks absolutely stunning as is. I understand the love for the Speedline look.
Hmm. Wondering what else you could spend your $$ on. Roll bar? Racing seats?
Carbon fiber toilet?

ginch, I am currently getting my 3.6 Turbo Speedlines refinished with black centers. I will post pics as soon as I get them mounted, which should be in a couple weeks. It might help you make up your mind. You can't go wrong with your original wheels or the KT2s. There's a guy (mark lintott) that just installed black-centered Speedlines on his black 964. They look amazing.

Well if I went with the KT2's I wouldn't go with the black. Thats kind of what i want to stray away from!

Are the Keskin's supposed to be an exact replica to the Speedline's? They just look a little different in my eyes.

IMHO there is no comparison, SPEEDLINE all the way.

If they were real I'd say that would be a good choice, but I don't know how good these replicas (weight, construction, durability etc)....the Works wheels are a quality wheel.

Read these threads - they give you lots of info about the Keskins and the other Speedline options:

https://rennlist.com/forums/964-turb...l-package.html

https://rennlist.com/forums/964-turb...ce-wheels.html

And here's a link to a German based company who sells Keskins brand new, including in black, for just over $1k:
