I vote cookies or fuchs, or maybe some old school BBS with black centers. Basically anything deep dish with a polished rim and black center. On a black car. Yummy.
Of course my '44 is an '88 so I'm stuck with the dials... nate

Are Porsche rims what you're talking about....or completely different rims?
I love the C2 wheels or Turbo Twist wheels.....

I still stand by my previous statement. If you gotta go aftermarket, get something old school and deep dish and with centers that can be painted black. If you're going for a more modern look... well... I can't help you, I have pretty retro taste in things automotive.

Volk Racing are neat looking. I think you can get them with porsche bolt pattern. They are light weight forged wheels also. I think 15" are 13 lbs, 16" 15 lbs
I still like my cookies. MMMMMMMM cooookkkkies!

The ONLY acceptable aftermarket ones are the OZ / Porsche ones and the Kinesis ones you can get here. Other than that, if it ain't stock, it's crap.
