Noby,
Here's a shot of my old race car with 18 inch forged magnesium LMs. I really don’t have any use for them any more if you’re interested. They are expensive though.

Great looking car by the way.
Jim

My 996 came stock with and still has 17" wheels(1999).Yes, I know they should be larger...one mod at a time. I plan to go with 18" however and probably wolud not consider 19".

I like it. gold is actually a nice contrast with white and gold rims usually don't do it for me.

The gold looks nice - but I like your current wheels better.

Noby, your car looks fantastic. In college, I had a set of Gotti wheels with gold centers on a red Alfa coupe. I have always liked the look.
