Wheel suggestions please!!

I have a white 997.1. It will have an OEM turbo deck lid this week.

It have the stock wheels and tires. Looking for something with a bolder look and would be pleased if any one here would provide suggestions.

Also if anyone knows of an alternate wing than the stock Turbo wing?

Thanks, Frank

Frank,

As far as your wing suggestion - i HIGHLY suggest going with the TechArt Type III Spoiler. We had it on the 997.2 Project Car and loved the look.

We have them in stock! Contact us for 6-Speed Pricing

u can't go wrong with a black HRE p40 or a black bbs ch-r on a white Pcar..

(although, only thing bad is yours won't be the only white car with them.. lol)

and, IMO, oem turbo wing > techart III (sorry Tag motorsport).. so why are u looking for an alternative ?

badder?

In context of that sentence, "worse" would be the proper English word to use and grammatically corrected, I agree.
Porsche makes some ok wheels but most anymore are just so plain boring...

Three letters... H-R-E

Lots of great options to pick from and you'll get to spend time admiring them yourself whilst cleaning all their nooks and crannies. Believe me though, people notice - petrol heads or not.

Truly, nothing is sharper than a car with tastefully put together mods with era correct wheels, and appropriate paint schemes for underlying mods. Sharp wheels can either start or finish a project but regardless they are needed to make it complete.

Good luck

Umm sorry for the confusion on the wing. I have a turbo deck lid already and was looking for a different wing only to swap out the stock one. I like the Hanmann wing but get no reply on email.

I realize the badged stock wheels are rad. If I still lived in Wi I would not change them. In south Florida the 911 is an also rand car. So I was looking for something to set it a per from the pack. As far as price.....not sure......just looking for something that trips my trigger.

So far have not seen anything.

Thoughts

19 RUFs and set or a set of 19 997TT wheels

I to have the 997TT rear deck lid, sorry but NO other aftermarket wing compares and flows as nice unless you go full aerokit and even then like the 997TT rear deck lid best....

I could not agree more with you, those wheels are fantastic, but a classic beautiful wheel and no expensive it would be this what I love to have:

I am indeed. But did note a desire for a replacement wing as well.

Ok 2800.00 plus paint for this wing is just plain silly. It's not even CF!
