996T wheel options

Turbo hollows for me, too.

Not only do they look great, they are the lightest (and therefore best to drive).

The LMs are total no for me on looks, plus they are mega-heavy.

I thought the Sport Techno was the lightest of the standard wheels.

Boring I know but I like the standard twists... They really match the car nicely!

My vote is for the originals also .... I don't think either the BBLms or the GT 3 wheels suit the car as much ....( as the originals)
 
Eta Beta's..........lovely. Don't think they suit a widebody though.

Love LM's as well but I cant help agree the stds suit the car best so far even though as you know Im a massive fan of trying other wheels.

Whats the spec on the Eta Beta's? :wink:
 
This is great...Photobucket is working again :thumbs:

These are not blue anymore though, just posted up for comparison.

I meant out of the 3 choices. :thumb:
 
Mine had these wheels on when I bought it (sorry, don't know the make):

I think the stock wheels can look alright. I made some slight modifications to mine 2 years ago.

I usually hate black wheels but they look great against the lapis blue.


I like old split rims but mainly on the 964s.
Trouble with the Beta's is the centres look tiny. RH Turbo P's look better as the spokes go to the rim.

Another vote for standard here though. :thumb:
 
Agreed; and I'm not particularly big fan of black wheels, either (although that seems to be changing slowly).
