Default Looking for a change... Which wheels for my TPC Turbo 997 Front End Cayman S?

Looking to change up the look. The car is for sale but most buyers are not into the extreme fitment of the AG F141 custom grind 20's. Thinking about other 19's with less extreme fitment.

What wheels do you guys think would go well with the way this car sits to attract the biggest audience? I'll start a poll once you have shared some options.

Thanks for the input!

I am personally a sucker for anything BBS, or a Forgeline GA1R/GS1R type option.

I feel like 987 looks pretty good on some Japanese wheels also...Volk TE37, Advan GT, Advan TC3 (though these are only 18" if I recall correctly)

Default Wheel recommendation - SV104 for the Cayman S

More Motorsport look like our SV104 19" or 20" with matte black or gunmetal finish.

I reached out to Project6GR today. They don't currently make a width that is narrow enough for our fronts. I mentioned that I think they would sell well for 986/987/981/982 owners...

I have recently seen Bisimoto using a similar design Carbon Revolution wheel and they look great...

If I get enough interest, I may be able to convince Project6gr to do a run of these for us.

The wheels on it look like a take off of the sport classic. In my opinion they overwhelm the car, the lips are too overt. There are a lot of current production wheels that look like the ones on the blue mustang. If I was going to replace my wheels and price wasn't an issue I'd be shopping HRE.

BBS or HRE would make the most sense since those two brands are the most well known and most respexted in the industry.

RC100's, or RC103's would be my choice. I'll leave the color choice up to you but luckily we've got 80+ Finishes to select from.

HRE RC100 in Satin Black:


HRE RC103 in Satin Black:

Personally I'd go with Forgeline. Well known, great customer service and used by pro teams. I've owned multiple sets without issue.

My fault for omitting Forgeline. They would be my third choice to add to this trifecta.

Problem solved. I wound up going with a nice clean set of Avant Garde Ruger Mesh 19's. The fitment is perfect with the 19x10's. The 19x11's were too much since I have KWv3's that are thicker and reduce the amount of inner clearance.

Let me know what you think!
