Default 991.1 narrow body looking for new wheels for spring, show me yours!

Hello All, I am a new 911 owner, I purchased this 991.1 last September and the time has come for me to replace these wheels. I have been quietly looking for the past couple of months and cannot seem to make up my mind between stock wheels, or aftermarket. I have seen some amazing aftermarket wheels, but I also love the clean look of the stock wheels. Anyways these are the wheels currently on the car (they came with the car, I DID NOT purchase these, lol). I have a good sense of humor and am ready to be roasted lolll. Im thinking of going gold or dark brown to match the top. I do love having a 2" polished lip (please especially post your wheels if you have a polished lip!) Looking for 20" wheels. If you are willing to sell your wheels please include that in your post and/or where you purchased them from. Thanks.

You have the clear tail lights. You should consider getting the clear side markers (blinker lights). To keep it clean, I would go with stock Carrera S 20” wheels in the silver…no photos of mine at present…or if you like the bolder look, go with an after market.

Yes i think you are referring to these:



i do love how clean the look of those wheels are, I am considering either those or i love these as well:



If anyone has these with spacers, please let me know how large. Because i think that if i go the factory route, i would probably add spacers.

These are actually from the Macan.

@Joec500 gorgeous wheels, amazing fit, same color im looking for, details pleassssseeee!!! haha

@pmadruga oh nice! i assume the wheels from the Macan are the same widths as the 911 (8.5" in the front, 11" in the rear i think), and then you just put the proper tire size on?

Fitment is perfect after I got the GT3 front control arms, but previous I had a 5mm spacer.

BC Forged KL01's in custom offset, I remember I had a sets of spacers from 3mm 5mm and 14mm to trim out my previous OEM wheel to figure the perfect fitment. I will need to lookback to see what I ended up with.
Originally these were finished in Brushed Bronze, the quality of finish was A++. But eventually I wanted to try a new color and a local shop here in LA powder coated with Prizmatic Aurum Gold. Which is a simialr color to the gold on 991 GT3.

Build quality is A++ many potholes and track days and they have holding up great. I remember paying around $3500, which seemed reasonable for a custom fully forged set of wheels in 20". At the time HRE's were around $10,000.

Many vendors here sell BC forged.

Good luck.

I have these satin black Carrera S original wheels for sale because I just recently changed over to Carrera Classic II wheels.
I can post more pics if you’re interested.
