997.1 New wheels
My wife got me a new set of wheels for my birthday.
I really like the way they fill out the wheel well a little, these are 8.5 up front with 235's and 11.5 rear with 305's. the rear offset is also a little different from stock at 87.
cheers

BEST wheels for 997 (outside of GTS wheels), specially for Silver/Gray/Black cars!

The Carrera sport wheels are absolutely the best built for the 997. And the widest for a "911" since the 911 came out.

None of my wives ever bought me anything as remotely expensive as Porsche wheels. She must really love you!

That settles it, I'm sending my wife this forum string. Wait, she'll probably just use my credit card.
