Only get chrome wheels if a) you plan to get 24"'s, and b) you also plan to add that cool hydraulic gizmo that makes the front end of the car raise and lower.....

Not just no, but for the love of all that is holy for God's sakes absolutely HELL NO. Just leave them alone. They are perfect the way they are. The car speaks for itself as is.

Personally I don't like the black wheels, because from any distance, they look like steel winter wheels without hubcaps. That said, black wheels are not particularly popular in this area, and if there were more around I would probably get used to them.

Chrome is more of a cry for help than a wheel choice.

Grey would be very nice.

So Florida seems to lead the nation in cutting edge fashion. There are a couple of our fellow rennlisters putting 997 TT wheels on 993 TT. I guess chrome wheels on GT3s are next.

You must live in California to appreciate chrome wheels. My 40th was GT silver:

Chrome the car and leave the wheels stock?
