nice choices, the Fuchs on that car is my pick - not sure about the black stone guards...

I love the black wheels/stone guards set up. But after seeing the new Fuchs in person on a 997.2TT, I decided they look better in pictures.
Here is a thought: Any black rim and black stone guards add a kind of "sportyness" to a Porsche that a non-Porsche-enthusiast will actually notice. Any silver rim will look "stock" to the same person.

To me, the Fuchs give the car more of a track ready look. The Champions more of a sports tourer. Both work well; my vote goes with the Champions.

Fuchs by a mile. Non-OEM always ends up looking cheap.

Too often seems true, even though it is really not. Arguably the Champions are a better wheel: forged and far from cheap. Maybe it is just the lighting in that photo that makes them look too bright - almost white.

I think if I were doing Fuchs style, I'd want the real deal from Otto Fuchs - still forged.
