996 rims on SC or Carrera

Does anyone have pics of these? I'm getting new wheels for my 996 and was thinking about swapping the stock 17s onto my 3.2 Carrera. I saw a 964 with these rims today and they look good, but was wondering how they look on a big bumpered 911.

996 wheels on a 3.2 Carrera

Hard to look at...Like a middle aged woman in a mini skirt trying to look young.

911's look best with period correct wheels. IMHO...

AAHHHHH!!! My eyes!!!

I agree. Stay period-correct. At the very least, go only one generation beyond your car.

the car is such a bastard that it all about looking good and going fast, bigger wheel, better tires....more bling....and for once they are not fuch's....lol....

fuch's are nice, but thats the route of the sheep. while adding lindsey's or w/e black out your trim, add a duck tail , and switch to hood stickers instead of badges....

it makes for a nice car, but it also seems to be the cookie cutter 911....
