Default 997, 5-spoke wheels-advice???

Hello everyone. Man, I can't get over my lobsters and must move them. I mean no offense, but I just don't like multi-spoke wheels. They look great, but not for me. I like a five spoke wheel with plenty of room to clean and view my red brakes. I know, it's crazy, but it's what I like. I'm not hip on the older style wheels either. Can anyone show me something new that looks really tough.

They are not 5 spoke, but I sure like these a LOT better than the lobsters.

I agree with you on the Lobster Forks, here is my next purchase but you need wider rear tires. These are Porsche Carrera Sport Wheels

I agree, but want to avoid the multi pattern. I like yours better...

I'm leaning this direction, but I don't know the weight yet.

Do you like the 19" Porsche 5 spoke? They are thin and light. You can keep your old tires too.

Otherwise, HRE 542 or TA Formula are nice too. Both are heavier though.
