I like my HRE C20 (brushed) . Not only are they light but the "step lip" accomodates rain quite well without a hint of shakiness.

If only the same could be said about your camera. I'm getting a headache just trying to focus on that picture.



Love the HREs and actually like the original wheels the OP posted as well.

This better ? Unfortunately my screen settings are geared towards my refusal to get reading glasses . I make the print larger which offsets the photos. Plus I am not much of a photographer . I only stated when I got this car. lol

Sharp as a tack, much better. Great mod choices on your car, when are you getting the GTstreet front?

Going back to the OPs topic. I like the Marion wheels because I don't care for the painted inside edges on the factory wheels and I love lips on wheels. However, they look a bit busy when mounted on a turbo. Dare I say it... even a bit blingy like the SSR GT3. Considering the quality of roads in Chicago, you might want a forged one piece wheel anyways.

I would vote for RUF....don't see many on 997's and I think their aluminum finish would contrast nicely with black.

Thanks everyone for all of your helpful suggestions. I ended up with something a little different than I originally anticipated, but I absolutely love them. I went with 20" HRE 890R wheels with Ralph Boothe hubcaps (which are incredible) and Michelin PS2 tires. Below are a couple of pictures taken at the dealership this morning -- the photos don't do them justice:







Thanks again for everyone's help!
