Right now I am also looking for wheels, but it is so difficult making a choice, so many options that can make or break a car

I like the Work Meister S1 3 piece love the look, but I don't know how a Japanese wheel would be on a german car.

The other wheels I have been looking into lately are Rotiforms I love Concave!!! There is the matte grey 996 C4S with red wheels, that got me looking into Rotiform but I am really liking their 3 piece concave snowflake style rim in the gunmetal grey color.

Default Ride quality of new wheels

Ive had both 18" sport techno wheels and 19" 997 S "lobster forks". I noticed a much harder ride and a bit of rubbing with 19". Thoughts on ride quality tart offs on the 19s from anyone else?

Default GT3 Wheels

I powder coated a set of GT3 Wheels to replace the stock wheels. Always liked the rear 11" GT3 Wheel vs the Standard 10" Wheel. Fronts bigger as well

The owner of that car is a member on here ("podigreg") and his wheels are currently for sale.

The wheels were refinished recently to anodized gold, however.

Poor quality Blackberry pic:

I put these wheels on the car when I bought it... but one of the rear tires shifted a belt and I decided to go with the OEM wheels.

Wheels are 19in Cargraphics.

I bought the car used with the 19" Momo wheels. I like them but am debating on a refinish to eliminate the chrome or get new wheels.

I'd love to put those red or orange ones on my car, they are very cool I would powder coat them black with a polished lip

Anyone have any pics of a black 996 C2/C2S w/ OZ Ultraleggera HLTs? Can't seem to find any on google and am considering them on my car. Debating between black and gray.
