Default Who has the coolest wheels on their 996? Post a pic

My next purchase in the spring are new wheels.

Many cars on Rennlist have this post but I don't see one for the 996.

Post a picture of your wheels!

Let us know the brand and the sizes!

The cooler, the better.

Let's see'em!

If this post is somewhere else or has already been done, direct me to the post.

I'd love to see all your wheels, post them up!

Steve, I will bite. One of my favorite wheels on a Porsche is the Ruf. It is what pushed me over the edge on purchasing my 996 cab. If I ever sell the car I may have to buy a replacement set of wheels and keep these.

That's the link I was looking for but nobody has posted a picture in a YEAR!

Let's see all the new guys.

Jake I've always liked the Ruf wheels. They look great on your car.

This was posted a few weeks back. I changed out my turbo twists for the bbs sport design wheels.

They may not be the coolest, but I love my Kinesis wheels in black....they are easy to keep clean.

I also would like to see more wheel pics, my current three choices are the Forgestar F14's, O.Z. Ultraleggera HLT's and BBS CH-R's. None of these are my car.

I was just looking at the link posted above. 13 of the 14 pages are from 2006 and 2007, mostly MK1 cars.

Let's see some new tech stuff. Where are the Champions, HRE's, Fikse's.

Where are the MKII's, the C4S', GT2 and 3's??

Let's see'em!!!

They look great. Like the rear lip. How wide are the rears?

Savini Forged SV8 in 19" Staggered. I am not really into bling wheels but a local shop made me an offer I really can't refuse. I do like the deep dish in the rear. Will post more pics once its installed. I still need tires.

if your refering to mine, the sticker on the front is 19x8, the rear sticker is worn with no size visible anymore but they are staggered with the rears wider so I guess 19x9 in the rear. Were on the car when i picked it up, i liked the previous owners wheel choice, one other reason i was drawn to this car. I get a lot of compliments on the wheels!
