Because of their light weight and ease of cleaning, I have a hard time making the justification to upgrade.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

...O.K., now I've decided to order 18" wheels, I need opinions ASAP on which would look the best on a stock C4 (no body-kit etc.)
I don't like the Porsche Sport Design/Sport Classic and am willing to consider quality aftermarket wheels - must be available in the UK, though!
Thanks in advance.
Ahh choices!
What about this :
For me one of the most nicest but also the most expensive!

Porsche offered an interesting wheel design concept that was displayed in a magazine about four months ago. I'm travelling right now so don't have access to the picture, but will paste it when I return.
It's a cross between the Turbo II look and the '02 (thin) five-spoke rims. I thought it looked quite good.
Actually, wait, wait, let me see if I can dig it up on archive (pause, pause). Ok, got it. How do you link a previous thread??!! Just search under Sport Techno in the 996 Forum.
Those are my rims, baby!!
Regards.

Thanks for all the comments everyone.

HRE 540...mmmmm <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />
Seriously, I love all the basket type rims like the Fiske, Kinesis, and HRE. They are all some very sweet, well made rims. I currently have the Technology Hollow Spoke rims on my car. Because of their light weight and ease of cleaning, I have a hard time making the justification to upgrade. From what I understand the new 18" Carrera rims are just as light.
In addition to liking the look, I purchased the HRE 540s because they are lighter than the stock TT hollow spokes on my forthcoming 996TT. Kinesis and Fiske also make lighter rims. I liked the HRE 540 better than the similarly styled Kinesis K28, and the Fiske, although offering a good looking similar style, does not yet offer a reverse lip.
Wheel Enhancement carries all of these rims, and many others, and they are a very professional operation. John knows wheels. I highly recommend them.
