I really liked these 8 spokes from GMG but unfortunately they don't seem to be available anymore. I found a similar set from another manufacturer and they are going on in the spring!

I'm a big fan of these BC Forged KLS 01 wheels but would probably opt for the KL 01 which is exactly the same look but costs less because it doesn't have the cut outs.

There are some great options that have been mentioned here already. Styling is subjective and the best looking wheel will vary from person to person. Quality wise the top tier brands are HRE, BBS, ANRKY, & Forgeline. Each of these brands has performance focused wheel models and luxury focused wheel models. You have to figure out which is more important to you in your wheel and that'll help narrow things down.

A few of my favorites are the HRE P101's, P40SC, & P43SC (shown below in order mentioned)

Take a look at our extensive Porsche customer gallery and let us know if you need any help in choosing brand, model, and fitment - https://wheelsboutique.com/gallery/porsche/

Thank you! Those are 20's but 19's are available as well. If you'd like a set built give us a holler!

For me it is Turbo IIs, Carerra Sports (especially those that are black powder coated with silver lips) and Fuchs style (on the right color combo).

I recently saw here a 991 Targa GTS with aftermarket centerlock Fuchs style that was very fly.

I still prefer an OEM wheel and not a fan of some of the aftermarket wheels. Though a BBS on a 993 is not bad, but I still think BBS are very BMWish....

Agree completely although I'm not familiar with ANRKY. Would also add Champion to the list of high quality forged wheels. Had two different sets on two earlier 997's and found them first rate right up there with the ones you mentioned. Same for a set of HRE P40's I had on a 2009 C4S.

Here are what considered gorgeous classic design that I never heard anybody complaining about:

Forgeline GA1R

Champion RG5
Did someone say Champion RG5 ?

Someone did early on in this thread. I'll add to that one and yours. Had a set on my -09 C4S.

Funny, I ran both of those on my 997, and agree they both look amazing. I sold the RG5s, and have kept the Forgeline (18s)

The 5 lug GA1R's really look different than the CL version. Like something is missing in the center or did you just not bother to put some kind of center cap on?
