    Im thinking of getting a set of Techart Wheels. Anyone here have any experience good or bad with wheels swaps on the TT? I dont love the look of the stock wheels and want to make the switch but with any car it's always good to do some research.
    Thanks,
    Ape

    Agree with you, get new wheels.

    Some guy posted a picture of his garage recently and the 997 had some stunning 5 spoke alloys on it, can not remember the manufacturer though!

    techart are good though, any pictures of the wheel design?

    Love the Techart wheels, never liked the 997 TT design. Go for it!

    I wonder what Fuchs(sp) would look like on the TT. Probably not very good.

    A friend of mine put some TA wheels on his 996TT many years ago, I don't think he has had any problems yet.

    Techart wheels are classy but they are boat anchors. If you love the look, go for it.

    Really? If that's the case I don't want the extra weight at all! Are you sure?
