I have a 99 996 that is silver. I can not decide if I want the GT3 (black) or the Turbo wheels in Black. You guys have any suggestions or pics?

POST 3Original post

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Any one have some pics of the turbo wheels on a Silver NB?
POST 5Original post
Are you talking about 996 or 997 Turbo wheels? Either way, I like the GT3 wheels better.
POST 6Original post
I would do round wheels...I tried squares and ovals, but that really negatively influences the driving characteristics of your P.
POST 7Original post
Silver.

POST 10Original post
Yes. GT3 wheels do it!
POST 11Original post
them gt3 wheels look like a flower and in all black it looks like they belong on a utility truck delivering flowers.
POST 12Original post
Okay.
POST 13Original post
The spirit of the GT3 wheels are a return to the original fuchs that have been a trademark/landmark in design for Porsche. They happen to look great on Chads car as well.

Another thought is you can go to your local wheel refinisher and see what they have on display. Grab a couple of the wheels and put them beside your car and see what you think in terms of color. Try silver, gloss black, flat black, black with polished lips, etc. I did this with a "black chrome" wheel and loved the look so I had my GT3 wheels custom painted. Black barrels, darker "black chrome" paint in the center and fading out to lighter around the lips. A splash of speed yellow for the GT3 script to match my calipers and they were done. Now I have the fastest flower delivery car in the area. Good luck! Cheers,
POST 20Original post
Oh yea, the flower wheel, good one. Do you have any shots of your wheels that are stationary? Beautiful car!
POST 21 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
I like the look of the Black GT3 wheels, maybe Chad can let me borrow his for a couple of weeks to see how I like them. Alan please post pics of your wheel while they are not in motion. Thanks to all

GT3 wheels in black, end of story. If Ben disagrees, you know you are going in the right direction.
POST 23Original post
This is a first, I agree with Ben. God did I just say that.
POST 24Original post
GT3 would be my choice. I think the color depends on the color of the car. I think the black would go good with my yellow paint.

I would not put anything "Turbo" on a non-Turbo car, so if you HAD to pick one it would be the GT3...but neither one appeals to me for your car. Is there a reason why you narrowed it down to just these two options?

I just like these 2 wheels. I used to have some Kinesis super cups and I loved those but I thought that they may make the car look older. ie from the 80's and 90's.
