I'm too much into erring on the side of caution with my 97, but I do have to say that those look excellent and much nicer compared to the chromed stock style. It's amazing how much of a difference that makes just eliminating some tire sidewall with wheel.

I had a 987 owner who has 18s from a Cayman on his ask me if my wheels were 16s or 15s, and his face kind of contorted when I told him they were 17s. It can make one feel a bit inadequate at times with today's cars being so upsized on everything. Still, I just can't take the risk of going up any sizes unless I know the car will be ok, and the answer is pretty much MY98+ to be assured of that.

I'm throwing some jealousy your way, 97, but only in good ways. The car looks sharp, the chrome was very blingy and out of place to me.
