Finalizing my order and I'm still up in the air on wheels. Do the Carrera Sports & Turbos have 305mm rear tires? (I saw that in Edmunds) Any weight consideration across the five options? Price differences, being minimal, are not a problem.

Basically, what do you suggest and why?

 

Get any wheels other than mine...

Actually - the new Turbo's would look real nice!

 

Any wheels look good on a guards red 997
Mine has the standard lobster forks. They are ok. I'm in CO too.

 

see my avatar! Hard to clean though.

 

XRR or Kinesis F110s.

 

I think he means OEM not aftermarket Crazy. I reckon personal preference, pick the ones you like. Personally I like the Turbp rims and they are forged.

 

i think the lobsters look best on guards red for some reason. on darker colors i prefer the classics.

I like the lobsters. I actually prefer them over a lot of wheels, including pjconnor's (I don't know the real name - just scroll up) and on any color 911. Definately one of my favorite wheels.

 

+1 on the OEM Carrera Sport wheels (XRR) or the Kinesis F110s.

 

XRRs are OEM. Look up.

 

I went with the classics, look good, easier to clean than the XXRs, but only 295 vs 305. Still glad I did.

C'mon now, that looks sick. I actually saw the 997 turbo wheels on a red 997 at the dealership about a week ago, and I might like these better...At least on the regular 911.

Get 'em.
