I think it's going to come down to what you like personally, irrespective of the cost (wheels really are the worst performance per dollar of investment you can buy), so unless you need super lightweight magnesium units for heavy track use, it will be a wheel that appeals to your tastes and design acumen.
This is true. I don't "need" new wheels I "want" new wheels. You are correct, if it was about the $ investment I would keep what I have now. My car won't go faster or handle better it hopefully will look better to me. I am really focused on look at the moment then will look more deeply into the maker I want to use. I am trying to stay with wheel manufacturers that I know work with the Porsche community and have had good reviews from users here and friends.
That's what I have - HRE-R101LW. Very happy with them. I went back and forth with the BBS Fi-R. Both are really good options. A little on the pricier end for sure. HRE I think has more finishing options.
HRE has lots of finishing options. I started thinking I wanted them in black, but the wife veto'd that, "too much black on a black car", so did the Frozen Dark Clear which adds a stupid amount of money to each wheel.. My wife just can't stop costing me $$$ 😂
Thats appropriate. I think owning these cars is all about doing things to them we think improves them or personalizes them. Already added, aero front trim, full PPF twice, ceramic coating, Cobb Pro tuned, PDK tuned, DSC V3 Sport controller, Europipe exhaust...... Car is already fast , handles well and is loud, now just working on the "make up" .

I can't blame my wife - I picked the finish.
Mine is Brushed Dark Clear. Did you see that one? It looks similar to yours.

I do think if you get lightweight wheels, then you may notice a little improvement. Although for me, I changed wheels (quite a bit lighter than stock), tires (Pirelli to Michelin) and DSC all at the same time. And I thought i bought a new car
Worst case - your current wheels are very nice. Classic design and great color on a silver car.
Yes they are. They're available in 1-piece forged, 2-piece, and 3-piece - all in 19" diameter. If you reach me I'll help provide you with all the info.

That's a nice one! They have a lot of great colors in that gray area. I went with what David @ Wheels Boutique suggested and I'm sure they'll be amazing!

Agree on all points. The worse case is I stay as is which is still good.
I have a Jet Black 2017 Turbo S with stock center lock rims and Pirelli PZero tires. I really like GT3 rims and am considering when its time for new rubber to swap over to GT3 rims.
Any feedback with this option - rim size GT3 rear wheel drive - Turbo S AWD?
Thanks.
