Default Ugly rims?????

Hey guys. I'm looking for my first 911S and I keep running across these rims. Is it me or are they UGLY? I just can't find myself buying a car with these rims and its eliminating a lot of options. Are these worth anything on the resale market?? Would love to hear your opinions....

Thanks!

Ha, I am shopping too, and every time I see those wheels, I add $3000 for wheels on top of the price for a different set.

I agree that those wheels are not attractive but if that is all you don't like you can find someone to buy them, and sell them with the tires to make it even easier and buy some new PSs for your new ones.

I actually really like them. When I see a car with them they always look huge, and I like that look a lot. They're not super exciting, but better than a lot of the stock Porsche wheels.

I don't think they're the worst wheels Porsche makes, but I don't care too much for them either. They're more luxury than sporty. I don't think you'd get much for them if you sell them though.

SportTechno's are the wheels to have on the 991.1

SportTechnos are hands down the best, but weigh so damn much.

😂🤣 Those are the wheels on my car and I get bunches of compliments on them. "Love your car, and those are the BEST wheels on it!" is given a lot. I think they're fantastic, classy, and best of all very easy to clean.

I do not like those wheels at all, but to each his/her own. I bought a 991.1 Cab in JBM with Classic wheels. First thing I did after I bought the car was buy some Sport Technos and IMO the new wheels totally transformed the car. Need to sell the ST’s since I now have a 991.2 GTS, but for the short time I owned the .1 the money spent on the wheels was money well spent.

No way.. Carrera Classics are hot. There are different versions.. RAD III in the widebody look much better than the narrow body wheels.
