Default Wheel swap ???

I'm picking up my '09 TT cab Friday.

And, I was wondering if the 19" Carrera Sport Wheels I have on my 997 C4S would fit the TT?

I like the Carrera Sport Wheels .... MUCH MORE ... than the Turbo wheels. And, IF it's possible, I'd like to swap the TT wheels for the CSWs.

Anybody wanna toss in an opinion or recommendation? Sorry the Porsche site did not hook up for me to check for myself.

Thanx.

They should fit, both cars are wide bodies but the Turbo has 12" in the back and your C4S has 11 or 11.5 so you might want a spacer.
The GT3 RS is a great wheel for the Turbo, straight on.

Call wheelenhancements- if it's a new turbo they'll give you a $1,500 credit towards the new wheels.

DO not swap with the ones from your old car fyi!

PIcked up the TT this morning. It was clean for only 5 minutes. After 150 miles of wet back roads ... well, it's filthy. But, that's what driving's all about. It will wash off.

The car is STUNNINGLY quick .... the fuel gauge suffers under the weight of the right peddle, tho. But, the smiles increase proportionately. Very kewl stuff.

We tried on a set of sport wheels like the ones that came on my C4S ... these were oem gray with a red lip. Not a fave ... we tossed the OEM TT wheels back on.

I'm still undecided which wheel I should rehoof the TT with .... more suggestions, photos and personal opinions will help.

GT3 RS or Champion RF67. Similar look, the RF67 wheels are "probably" lighter.
