If they are for street use I would do a different color or an entirely different wheel.

Nice pic bro. Are they gunmetal. Yours look so much nicer than mine. Did you paint them? They look lighter.

TE-37s are one of the lightest and also strongest wheels available for the street. Period.

But I do agree with some of the above posters that they don't look "right" on a Porsche. I would look into BBS or Fikse.

Thanks. How light are the Fikse's? BBS's are a little heavy. 24 or 25 pounds I think...

If you are concerned about the weight, these are the way to go. HRE's look good... have a set of those as well. BUT... the Volk's scream street cred if you ask me...

I agree. No matter what kind of car when I see BBS or Volks I know the owner more than likely has some engine mods under the hood. HREs look nice, but most cars with HREs may or may not have engine mods.

Be warned white on a yellow car are not for the faint of heart and I almost dont dare post the pics... I got the colour combo idea from the old Ferrari 355 Challenge combination...

But at least my stickers have finally been taken off the car so it doesnt look quite so bad now
