99% of the wheels posted on here are some kind of variant of a split five spoke design. Just saying.

Correct! The design architecture for sturdiest, lowest weight track spec alloys across HRE, Litespeed and other $10k wheel manufacturers all follow that ethos. Anything else and the weight goes up. I explored many wheels and ended up with these. Btw, they are the same wheel under different light conditions. Looking forward to mounting them after snow clears.

I get it. But how many people are upgrading wheels because they're tracking them.

It has a timeless look and not as gaudy, much like the understated philosophy of Porsche itself. That would be my guess.

Yes, and for numerous good reasons. I'm not sure what your point is. Would you like to see wheels of a different design?

Actually, yes, I for one would like to see a greater variety in styles. I am strongly considering a wheel swap when I take delivery of my incoming Targa 4S, but I haven't seen anything actually installed that I love. I come to Rennlist for the variety of ideas, tastes and styles. I'm currently lurking in this thread, the pics, pics, pics and the black car thread.

I like the below:
https://brixtonforged.com/portfolio/black-porsche-992/

But again its another split 5 variation, and I can't say I love it $25k CAD (21/22rims& tires) more than my Spyders from the factory

Also like these, but I won't have a GT3, and this is a render, how are they really going to look - especially if I don't lower Precious when she arrives?

Exactly. So many variations on optioning the car to the finest details to make it as custom as possible then everyone who does aftermarket wheels gets the same looking ones. Doesn't make sense to me.

Then put up or or shut up, all I read here is a bunch of weird whining. I don’t like over styled wheels so I went with a design that I think best compliments the timeless design of the 911. None of us had you in mind when we bought our wheels.

Were you raised by a pack of third world peasants? You have the manners of one. Weird whining? I was just pointing out the homogeneous taste on the posted wheels. OK, ltough guy?

More insults/whining and yet still no picks of your wheels/taste so we can criticize yours.

My manners?

Great shots of some beautiful cars/setups David.
Also FWIW, David has offered me several options, and he has been very helpful during my search for a new set of wheels and tires.
