Vintage HRE 501 on Porsche 997 GTS

Love the car. The factory has a vision for their special cars, and the Fuchs are part of the retro look. Any change of wheels on that car is just not the way it was meant to look. Special edition cars should not be trashed up. You want to make your own personality (pimp-up) in a tuner burner car then just buy a standard Porsche of some kind and have at it. How else would we be amused otherwise?

This IS a wide body! Its also a daily driver in Chicago.. lowering it is not an option for DD in this town... owner has an 11 GT3RS (also on HREs) if he wants low!!!

Hate to go w/ the trend here but, it's not great. I love the car. w/ the crowd here when it comes to retro look, Fuchs are it. This was a nice attempt though.
To King’s point, it’d also look better lowered or w/ skirts of some sort. Thanks as always for the post!
Edit: If Fuchs aren't available in center lock then this is just a mediocre alternative to the stock wheels. I see where the owner was going. Just didn't work. Also, I do understand drivability issues w/ lowering the car in the city. If the driver wants a city car, buy one. The stance of this GTS looks a bit off.
