^That Guard's red Turbo posted above belongs to Barrister. IMHO, all 997 TT's in that color should come with those wheels. Stunning combo.

I must admit, the wheels on your car look much better than stock.

Very tasteful.

Tribal Lip......MIGHT be worse than if the car had Neon-underglow and matching neon washer fluid squirters. FAIL.

As for the aftermarket wheels comment. Tend to agree to some extent....but a nice set of wheels selected to enhance the car --- then lowered onto the wheels to match the stance with the new look of the aftermarket wheel is a GOOD call on most newer Porsches. While i do love the standard wheel on most Pcars, Champion/HRE/WORK/DPE/D2/Ruf/ADV1/etc are some sick wheels that when in the right finish on the right car look SICK.

Like everyone else, I like aftermarket wheels on 911's. Assuming they're good ones, not cheap ones. There certainly are some nice ones. I've got the 9ff's on mine, and my buddies have BBS LM's and HRE P40's respectively. All win as far as I'm concerned. And of course, Dana's car is all win too!!!
