Default I have them on my 2011 4S
I love the look on mine - I guess that is the beauty, we can all mod as we prefer (mine were original option).

LOVE those HREs. You have one of the nicest looking 997s I've seen on the forum.

Those are different and is very nice, I am also not a fan of the turbo type 1 wheels, prefer the lobster folks much more.

Funny how much people like different wheels. I hate the lobsters but love the turbos. Turbo IIs are my favorites of all. Thanks for the pics!

Thank you!

FWIW, the Turbo wheels are forged (as opposed to cast) and very light. I've kept them after the HREs in case I ever track this car.

Those Turbo IIs are EXCELLENT! They look good on everything - 911s, Cayennes, Panameras.
