The (previously owned) 2006 C4 I bought came with lobsters.
But I'm curious...why are they lobster "forks" and not lobster "claws"? What's the difference?
I actually like my black lobsters. They don't show brake dust.

It could be because the design resembles lobster forks which are used to eat lobster, and bear absolutely no resemblance to lobster claws whatsoever.

I love them, and not only because my car has them. They actually blew me away the first time I saw them and accentuated the improved design of the 997 over its predecessor.
I think the Turbo IIs might be my choice now, and the new 10-spoke 991 wheels are growing on me, but the lobsters are my favorite (or second favorite) 997 wheel.

I actually like them too. I was going to replace with BBS or Fuchs, but I prefer the stock lobsters. My car is pretty light for a stock 997.1 porker as I'm running PCCBs. So, IMHO, I've got the best of both worlds - less unsprung weight and no brake dust.
