The FR67 wheel are great looking. I like the symetry of them better than the RS171. I have never really cared for the "V" and the "U" spoke design on the same wheel.

Uhmmm.... Bagger, I thought we had already eliminated chrome anything!

Seriously, I have to agree with Cole. I have never seen chrome wheels on a Porsche that looked good, IMO.

Default Can you go old school

Always loved the sport techno's but they only come in 18's.... retro look IMO could look great, maybe have them refinished in a hyper silver black finish...(that's the finish here)

as far as after market wheels only one looks right to me on any 911/variant.... see pics below

So, I'll ask here. I always get great answers and opinions/recommendations from you folks.

As some may know, I am picking up a '09 TT cab Friday after dropping off my C4S.

I'm really not a fan of the TT wheels that come with the car. I do care for the Carrera Sport Wheels that came with my C4S. And, they particularly look terrific in CHROME. I think these wheels would "POP" on the midnight blue cab.

Anyone have an opinion as to fitment or how these would look on the TT? I have some CS wheels on the C4S ... and wondered if I could swap them out for the TTs. Or, just swap the TT wheels for some CS's in chrome?

Thanx for your opinions.

I've spent a lot of tho't about the potential change out of the TT oem wheels.

You folks are right ... no chrome !

I've pretty much decided on the GT3 RS wheels ...

But, not sure I'd keep them oem. I might have the spokes powder coated body color and the lip polished. Or a gun metal PC ??

Now, I just have to find where to get them.
