I want to get new 19" wheels for my midnight blue 996tt I am thinking a mesh style... FORGELINE or CHAMPION or BROMBACHERS in either a painted silver ...or some people are saying black center.. I am looking for some other wheel idea's ... you guys on his forum have so much good info and idea's.. at the moment I have AVUS AF 501 style wheels with a painted silver center..

One nice thing about the champion wheel over the others is that the champion wheel is 1 piece.. so you dont have that barrel behind the face of the wheel where water builds up from washing the car or rain.. keeps the wheel much cleaner..

When washing use a leaf blower,especially for the mesh wheels.Blows the water right off.
Just a thought!
But sounds like you made your mind up already.....!
Buy what you like.

I'm running DPE S20's (mesh style). Customer service was outstanding.

HRE P40 silver or brushed finish. Black center will not look good on blue car, not enough contrast.

champion wheels has high offset, many people need spacer to make them look right. LM, P40 are nice, another options is Cargraphic, one of few reverse lip without water build up problem in rain.

You may check with RSS (cargraphic dealer), I was told their design will not have the same water build up problem like HRE and others. And yes, they're 3pc.

That would be a big plus, my HRE's get very very tricky in the wet at high speed.

What?!

I thought we were talking about water marks on the wheels, not performance issues....
