I'm new here, but have had my car for almost a year now. I though I'd share a picture of my car in this post. I'm a sucker for BBS LM's and knew that I had to have them for my car when I bought it. I lucked out and found a set of them in the turbo fitment a few weeks after I bought my car last year. I bought them right away and couldn't be happier.

I also like the LM-Rs, Fuchs, Work Meister S1's, and Brombachers.

Just my .02.
Hey Madd, i think that the basic idea of this thread is to figured it out what other people think about "cool" wheels.

I dont think its "uncool" to ask people about what they think is extremely cool for them.

I like my car with the Sport Designs but sometimes other people idea of coolness could change your mind.

OEM 997.2 GT3 wheels.

Or TE37s. Or Weds TC105-N.

CCW C10s? Classics?

BBS LM? RE-MG? RG-Rs? CHR-Rs?

There are so many.

I think any "MESH" design wheel could fit the 997.

The Avantgarde "Ruger" Mesh are similar to the GT3 ones IMO.

Here is my meteor gray with OEM Carrera Sport wheels. I switched from the Carrera S II wheels. I like the gunmetal finish of the Carrera Sports. Looks really good with darker color cars.

You are right. Just me on Monday.


To me the coolest wheels are anything forged and lightweight.

Best 997 wheel made.

Unless you have a white car, then the BBS LMR 3-piece are amazing looking on that car. Like a cup car.

So true! Personally I think it's just as important to get the ride height and spacing correct... That can transform the look and make OEM wheels look much more appealing...

I like stuff like the BBS ch-r, but for OEMs love the Sport Design (hate cleaning them though) that I have and the simplicity of the 19" 5 spokes Carrera Classics I think?) - actually like the lobsters too!

Yes and no. Great choice in wheel no doubt but believe on a base 997 The car looks like it needs more. Such wheels imo look best on modded car with some aero adds or factory aero car.
