I'm partial to HRE P40's which are available in different finishes including grey and black.

I have GT3RS wheels on my Porsche, but I prefer the Fiske FM5's on my BMW. With lighter wheels, you can feel it everyday, and it feels like you have upgraded everything: braking, steering, handling, acceleration. The best news is that Fikse wheels are easy to repair if you hit a pothole or a curb. A local wheel store which I have found on google has made mine look and drive like new on three separate occasions for way less than replacing them because the forged wheels are malleable, not brittle like the cast wheels. If you are spending the money, give the Fiske forged wheels a try.

Spiffjiff....are those 19's or 20's?

I just checked out the Roderick RW5's .....they look very tempting also!
Lots of great choices so far.
If anyone has a set of these on a 997 please post a photo!

my OZ's are 19s. offsets of F53 / R65 which are pretty close to my stock lobsters (i believe they were F57 / R67?). rear tires are a bit wider than stock (295) at 305 so that pushes them out a little too.

If anyone here is interested in purchasing Fikse or Forgeline wheels mentioned above, we have Rennlist specials on both. We also have great relationships with both manufacturers. You can email or PM us for details.
