Sweet ride. Wheels look great. I'm a fan of flat black.

Nice looking car! I love the lowered stance. However, for some reason, I'm just not "feeling" those wheels and I really don't know why. Maybe it is the wider/thicker spokes, but I'm not sure. Please don't take my comments the wrong way, I am not bashing your selection of wheels. To me, they just look mis-matched for a Porsche. But then, what the hell do I know?

Tim...it could be the lips themselves in that they are double tiered and not flat like on most. You do see this double tiering (as I do not know what else to call it) done a lot on other wheels and the wheels on a lot of cars (non-Porsche).

Yeah not liking the wheels either.

stepped lip wheels are very motorsport. they're stronger and lighter since the centers are smaller (which is where a lot of the weight comes from).

i'm not a fan of thick spoke wheels either (all 911s should have mesh), but the fact that this one doesn't have centercaps on doesn't help either.

It's a nice aggressive looking wheel for sure.

They're called "stepped lip" versus the [newer style] reversed lip that are "flat"
