I would say DPE or HRE, just personal preference. I just dont like the fact that DPE charges extra for non-standard widths. The other brands listed are good, but Cargraphic I dont recommend simply because they take too long, and its irritating.

 

Here is a link to my DPE thread so you can check out the many models they have to offer. The SL-5, S-10 or S-20 from signature series would be my suggestions.

I dont want the issue of water sitting in the channel behind the face of the wheel.. thats why I think I have to go to a 1 piece wheel.. like champion RG5 Have to check the back side of a wheel by brombacher... I think their design wont hold water back there also.

 

Cannot go wrong with the HRE Monoblok Line

thanks alex, but as I mentioned I dont want water issues with the 3 pc wheels... I want to go to a 1 pc wheel like champion RG5... OR depending on the design the brombachers.. but thanks for the effort and photos

 

Fikse Profil 10's or LM's look amazing on 996TT's

and you can get the Fikse's in custom widths and offsets

 

Ari, your car looks BADASS!!! We almost have twins, but I think yours looks better!!

 

As cool as 1pc wheels are , they aren't something i see being popular for that much longer. The whole point in getting aftermarket wheels is getting something that has a big lip, larger widths, and stands out, not to mention shaves off a few pounds of weight.

DPE's are cool,

 

Agreed.

If you are worried about water building up on the inside of the face, you could always use a leaf blower or something of the sort (there's one called the motorcycle dryer I think & it seems to work very well...) to blow the excess water out from behind. You might not get ALL of it, but enough to be satisfied.

 

1 pc wheels are here to stay... they are safer then 3 pc wheels...they dont leak.. race wheels are 1 pc.. factory wheels are 1 pc.. granted 3 pc wheels look better most of the time.. cause its a different look then stock...

 

The water issues are not due to 3-pc wheels per se, but are due to a reversed lip. Reversed lip. I have 3-pc OZs and no reverse lip.

 

Hey Guys-

What color combinations do you recommend on a slate?

I want it low on the 'bling meter'... all chrome, no,

I was thinking a chrome/polished lip, with a light grey center. (Personally I like a kida-mesh style, C20, P40)

Comments or pics would be great...

True statement. Anything with a reverse lip, you will have a minor issue, nothing big.

If you went with a stepped lip wheel, the problem is completely eliminated.

DPE does offer a stepped lip.

 

I know it's not Slate Grey, but here are a couple pics of my Champions...





I painted the centers Seal Grey for a bit of contrast. I'm happy with the way they came out, but if I had to do it again, I would go 1 to 2 shades lighter on the centers. I did paint the barrels as well, so that may be part of the reason they seem so dark.
