SP-C5's then?

I do love the look of those, Michael has them on his 996 and another member has them on his M5 (Hollywood Hogan). Beautiful wheels, nice deep lip, not to mention easy to clean and they really show off those enormous brakes the M5 has

Yeah Michael put up a pic of his 996 for me to see them. Wasn't aware someone had them on here on their M5 too. I will have to hunt around for a photo!

Agree with everything you said too!

I voted for the SP10's as it is a more modern look, the SP-C5's look a bit dated!

Here you go: DPE's I think they look FANTASTIC!!!! Very nice wheels, light, sporty and aggressive

EDIT: LOL Sorry, these are the slightly different model. I am also partial to black wheels on a silver car - see mine

You reckon? I reckon they'll look pretty sweet on the 5... Only thing that puts me off the SP10's is the fact they dont have a lip, and that's the one thing I really want in a wheel.

Oh I dunno!!

LOL it's not an M5, but it'll do. Mainly I love the nice DEEP lip these wheels gave me, and they're light
