i dont think those wheels r bad at all, i mean they do kinda look like the eclipse ones which kinda wants me make me gag a little but its the car that makes me wanna gag not the wheels lol i think most wheels look good unless theyre black in which case they look like cheap hubcaps or if they just look like they're plasticy and cheap and those arent either so its all good.

those wheels suck A$$

Jeph is right to point out the stricking similarities to the eclipse wheels. The 997 Turbo disappointed me aesthetically when I first saw it. The front end is too confused(looks like a salamander) and cluttered with the fog light (like the Maxima) and led turn signal, which look like they are taiwanese ebay brand. the back looks weak with the camaro like rectangular tips, and worst of all the wheels. They do not look like Porsche wheels. no tradition, non classic, and it doesn't match the car. ]

the 996 and 986 are beautiful flowing cars. don't destroy that with ugly wheels like ones on the 997TT.

I have to say I love those wheels. Not sure if they work that well on a Boxter, but on a 911 they are awesome. I also think that pics don't do them justice, you have to see them in person.

If I ever order a 911, I plan to get those wheels.
