Seriously though, those P40's are worth it. They would look great.
040's are really some of the most beautiful rims, I wouldnt mind buying two and having a glass put over them and using them as tables for a garage theme'd lounge at home.

Yes, I hear the 80's are making a big comeback.

It seems like everyone has the mesh rims now. I personally like the Techart Formula Rims. Similar to the Rufs, but cleaner lines.



Someone is selling a nearly new set for under $3K which is phenomenal!

eBay Motors: Porsche 997 20 inch Formula GT Techart Wheels silver (item 270279331930 end time Sep-30-08 21:29:45 PDT)

And another set with tires for?

TDK: Welcome to TS and thank you for posting those links for me. The first one is a pretty good deal, expect I have a 997 Narrowbody and those came off a 997TT widebody. The second set is also a good deal depending on where they set the reserve.

If I get 20's would I definitely have to lower the car? I just want to make sure it doesn't look like a truck with a lift on stock suspension I think someone on here had these in 19's for sale a while ago. Anyone want to sell me theirs?!

RUF real deal or nothing.
LMs are nice and classic.
Those TechArts are too heavy.

I have never had good luck with BBS. I hate them actually. Constant peeling, white spots, rough surface withing a 1000 miles give or take a few. And yes I clean weekly and Mothers polish...
