What do forum viewers think of the wheels on that car? I want to buy some wheels for my summer tires and I can get a chrome set like on this car for $1400. But I can't decide what I think of them. Sometimes I like them, sometimes I'm not sure.

Thoughts?

Personally, I don't like those rims.

Oh, I don't know, DJ. I think chrome wheels on that mile deep blue would be hot.

I do like them, but I like them better on the 987. They're a little boxy for the 986 design, I think. The 987 has slightly more angular lines than the 986. For far less than $1,400, you could get a set of Carrera Light replicas, which look stellar on the 986. If you are specifically looking for a chrome rim, Wheel Dynamics offers the Carrera Light in chrome.

Of course, this is just my opinion.
