Is it just me?

Just curious guys, if it is just me are these wheels are just wrong for the Turbo and basically hideous. That rear lip looks like it's 5" or better. That has got to effect the handling of that machine especially in the rain!!

I dunno, it kinda fits with the whole "bling badass" look. I can dig it.

I'd never put them on if I had a 997TT ... but my dream wheels are Techart Formula and RUF with no lip whatsoever ... soooooo ... yeah.

While those wheels look better than ATL-Porsche's old wheels, I don't like them. Too flashy for my tastes.

+2. Wheel styles evolve quickly. I think the deep lip look (especially in contrasting colors) is starting to look a little tired. I like the monoblocks too - I have two sets - so I may be biased.

I still like the deep lip look but not with contrasting colors...

I quite like it - if that lip was like 3.5 inches.
