The more I look at the stock wheels, the more I like their simple, elegant design. I think they suit the car very well and my LMs look too "busy."

I originally bought the LMs as I needed a second set of wheels for winter driving but no longer need them as I have a daily driver.

What do you think?

I think the Lobster Forks look better on your car.
They fit the 997 perfectly in my opinion.

 

Yeah, the more I look at old photos, I'm beginning to agree.

 

Lobsters were meant to be steamed...not placed on a classic sports car.

 

For simple elegant design, I like the 19" Carrera Classic wheels.

I think you're nuts. Lobsters are the ugliest Porsche wheels currently available - the V6 Cayenne 17s are a close second - and they're not that strong. BBS LMs are a completely timeless look for any car, especially a high-zoot sports car like a 911.

 

Given the choices presented, Lobster Folks. They look easier to clean then the LMs. Besides I have Lobster on my car!

 

Don't go back to the Lobsters.

 

Generally 99% of the time the stock wheel looks better than any after market IMO. These companies spend a hell of a lot of money on design to get wheels that look best on their cars. I generally accept their conclusions on these things. Go back to Lobsters or IMO the best looking 997 wheel is the Sport Design.

 

please sell the lm's to raja ...so i can buy his wheels...

 

Hmmm... I'm also thinking of having the centers painted gunmetal similar to this:

 

+ infinity. Nothing looks better on a Porsche than OEM wheels.

 

I like my Lobsters, But those LM's above painted look real goooood !!

 

I actually really like the OEM lobster forks but the BBS wheels are nice too. I'm usually not a fan of aftermarket wheels on high end cars but the BBS wheel is a timeless, classic design... just like the 911 itself.

 

Your car was one that I looked at over and over while I waited for my car to come. I like OEM with the only exception being if it is a weight issue for tracking.
