The photoshop image looks nice...I'd go with an OEM turbo wheel though.

skip, those look like wheels that should be rolling on a riced out honda or scion.

Have a look at BBS 3 piece GT Forged, now they would "make" your Black car.

I'd like something more masculine, deeper dish...something that says monster HP @ the wear wheels....
my problem with the stock965 is the lack of dish. they don't obviously point out the driving wheels- they could belong to a front wheel drive car

You want the
1. lightest,
2. strongest,
3. best air flow mgmt (usually extraction)

that will fit your car. No exceptions.

Don't fall for the styling over performance thing, or you will eventually wind up in a crapped out Hyundai with Cadillac tail fins on it...

Don't like them either.
Have you looked at Fikse wheels? don't remember if they have any that look deep profile tho.

The car is hot. The wheels, IMO, not.

Perhaps something like this?


Seriously though. Anything "louder" then the car is a mistake.
