Dont mind either (on the right car). Most get bought up by the VeeDub lads these days and bolted to everything from a Lupo to a Golf.

I think lobsters look great on a 987.

Aghhhh !!! Stabbed through the heart !
I've actually grown a little fond of the D90's. Those other ones, ehhh, no so sure about.
Neither are as bad as some of the aftermarket multi-color, million-spoke monstrosities that seem to be the rage these days - or the classic "Phone Dials".

I used to hate D90s but have kind grown a fondness for them.

I didn't like the Cup wheels either, but they just sorta belong on the car so I got Cups on the car and D90s in the garage. I have looked at a million wheels and really haven't found anythig I liked better.

Not a fan of either, but if you see D90s on US ride height on a 964 for sale, it is a good indication of an unmolested car IMHO.

Makmov

thats how mine came US ride height, D90s and unmolested.

Bearclaw

Very good point!

A friend has the lobster wheels on his 06 987 and paid extra for them. I thought they looked kind of sharp on the car.
Then again, i have two sets of D90s (but also a set of 18" twists for redemption).

+964!

I wouldn't go that far, they're not my favorite but I'd be happy with them on a "new-to-me" 997. At least it's a 5 spoke design...things just got out of hand with all the fancy cutouts.

D90's however...I know Porsche was going for the "modern-aerodynamic" image when they replaced the Fuchs. The overall effect of the wheels, with the 964's smooth nose and sils just doesn't look aggressive enough. Cup1s made a big difference on the 964.

My buddies track wheels...

Lobsters were a plus when I bought my '05 997. 19" vs 18" and I think they look better than the stock 18" wheels - to much open area IMO.

Bearclaw - very nice Targa ! How many miles ?
