IMHO, the nicest wheels for the 997TT...the 997 GT3 RS!



Not the GT3RS, but the regular GT3 requiring spacers:

Not sure of the weight but the sizes are 20x8.5 and 20x11. Can get a set under 2K.

I am waiting for RinSpeed C5/1 (limited) in a 12 inch rear but it could be until August and I am impatient because my car should be here in 2 weeks.

I like simple designs and have now come across this wheel from cargraphic.

Looks like a the Rinspeed C5/1 with a lip. I am sure it is TPMS compatible. I have to inquire about these.

I like the look. Even with the tuner center with a little red pin pull.

The cargraphic or the Rinspeed? The cargraphic does come in 19".

The rinspeeds no 19's . I am sure many people would like for them to be made in 19". I have been debating between 20" non-lip ( Rinspeed C5/1 ) and lipped rims. The lipped 20" don't look as large(optical and 19" centers" - but I really like the Rinspeeds 5 star classic. The Champion RG5 doesn't come in 12's and they aren't likely to make them from what they told me.

Too many choices ya know...
