First of all, these are not forged. Porsche OEM forged wheels are made by Fuchs and are in the 19 inch diameter only (for 997 and 997 TT). These are clearly manufactured somewhere else but in that odd size.

My first comment is that I think these would look terrible on a 993. Hell, I think they look terrible on a 997TT. MHO.

Really? I was on the Porsche website playing "spec your new 997" the other day, and I thought those wheels looked OK.

What would be really cool to me, though, would be those pentagram-looking wheels that Ferrari has. Maybe not on a 993, perhaps.
