Default Help me choose a set of BC Forged wheels

Hi,
I am looking to purchase a set of BC Forged wheels. They have so many nice wheels that it is difficult choosing just one. I think I have narrowed down my choices to the 3 models below. Looking for your opinions as to what will look best on my car. The car will be lowered prior to the wheels. I think silver will look best but I am open to color suggestions as well. Below is a picture of my agate grey 991.1 along with images of the different wheels. Thanks!



KL01




HCA163 with exposed hardware






HCA164 with hidden hardware


HCS02S with exposed hardware



HCS02S with hidden hardware

I bought a C2S with HCS02S with hidden hardware installed. They look good but I prefer the look of the KL01's.

KL01 in silver.

The other two are too busy and don't look OEM.

Kl01 for sure. Silver or that gun-metal color.

Thanks everyone. It seems to be unanimous so far. I agree the KL01 is closest to OEM while still enhancing the look of the car.

Another vote for the KL01 in the lightest, brightest silver you can find to offset that beautiful gray.

Something like Porsche's Satin Aluminum if you want something more sporting, or a very light/bright gloss silver with little in the way of discernible metal flake if you want to lean towards something sporting but elegant.

Do BC wheels allow factory center caps?

They do if you pay extra for the different machining they have to do.

Yes, they can be machined to accept the factory center caps. I assume the factory silver caps will never exactly match the wheels so having them be off would drive me nuts. For that reason I am leaning towards the BC Forged center caps.

Here is my previous 991.1 S with KL01 and current 991.2 GTS with MLE81 multi-piece wheels. The monoblock offerings are extremely light.

I love your MLE81's. I was looking at those but think they look much nicer with center locks as you have. Your previous white 911 looked great on the KL01's as well.
