This is an example of the closest you can get it dialed in to factory specs with the tire sizes being available at this time.

I had my original Sport Design's repaired (pothole and some curb damage). While we were at it, I had the spokes painted gold and the lip polished back to matte. I think they came out great. (Lighting makes them look a little yellower than they actually are).

And yes, they sorta suck to keep clean. But they sure are purdy for the 5 minutes they stay clean.

Have a set of Sport Design's that I'm going to have the centers powdercoated and trying to decide what to do with the lips...clear or wax/seal (and maintain).

Another set of Victor Equip Innsbruck that came on the car. Looking for some black Porsche center caps, though. Nice wheels, but not easy to clean.

My favorite wheel design that Porsche makes is the 997 Turbo wheel. These are 19 inch on my 996, but you can find them in 18 inch. I wish I had gotten the 18's for every day smoother ride.

I almost always get compliments on my SC II's... % minutes may be pushing it a little bit...
