Wheels

Not sure about black on a seal cab. The wheel design however, I think looks fab on a cab. I have the sport design II wheels (similar spoke shape) on my arctic cab, and IMO it lifts the look of my early 996. Buggers to clean though.

As wheels go, they look nice but trying to picture them on your car Scott and have to say that I think the ones you have suit the car better.

How much do they weigh? Are they lighter than the Porsche OEM wheels, if not they will affect the drive, handling and stopping.

I doubt if they are lighter than the 5 spokes that Scott already has, as they are very light wheels at about 9.5kgs per corner.

9.5kg per corner? My - that is light! I once bought some VW 17" replica alloys for my Golf some time ago and these were 19kg per corner! They messed up the handling no end, used more fuel, took longer to accelerate/brake and was a waste of money imo even though they looked nicer than the original 16".
