Wheels
I've got the mod bug and I have been thinking about new wheels. I still sort of like the 997S wheels, and I don't want to change unless I find something I really like. Thinking about HRE 540R's, also have taken some liking towards Kinesis K19's or K29's. Pics below of a 997S with the HRE's, and the Kinesis wheels. Opinions anyone?

Thanks, guys.
Rob - Almost got the SSR wheel for my Targa but up close didn't like them as much and went for the BBS RS-GT, and I've heard bad stuff about the SSR's (strength, weight).
The Kinesis K58's (see pic below) are also something I've considered - they look great on the GT3 - but not sure if 19's are available yet.
I have the 997 Carrera S wheels now and, like I said, sometimes I like them but sometimes I'm growing tired of them. The Champion RS97 is almost reminiscent of the 997 Carerra S wheels, but not my taste. The new Champion RS98 is a nice looking, clean wheel, and the Champion RG5 monolite titanium is real nice but maybe very pricey.
