The wheels are perfect, just perfect. IMO, 90% of aftermarket wheels look too bling, too big, too "look at me". Aftermarket wheels should demand attention but not in the wrong way and these certainly do not.


You kept the car classy yet aggressive...tough to do.


Good Job

I already put them there. I only posted them here because I still have some AMG friends and thought some would like to see it.

Now you're making the 997 designers look incompetent. Excellent choice.

Love the 997 TT! Arent OEM TT wheels 19", light weight, and forged too? (Not to mention great looking!) With so close to OEM in both looks and size... what did you accomplish? Don't take it a wrong way, great looking car, just curious...

same size as stock? Yes. Forged? yes. That's about where the similiarities end in my opinion. These are significantly lighter and the looks arent really close. The stock TT wheels are without a doubt the most controversial part of the car for most TT owners. Their a love/hate kind of thing.

Sign me up for the love side. I wouldn't change them.
Unless I couldn't see enough of my yellow PCCB calipers!

Thanks for sharing

I'm usually all against changing stock wheels but they look very classy. Keeping the all-important Porsche emblems on the wheels is a great choice too and I'm with you on the hatred of bling wheels.

LOL at you on your belly!
