Default 17" CUP Wheels Do you like this color combo?

I have a set of cup wheels I'm toying with the idea of refinishing them in the same colors here. Let me know what you think...

They are 17x7 & 17x9....

Thanks for your feedback, I need to sell so I want something cool to offer.

Do it! I had a similar finish on a set on both my old 964 and 993 before going to 18's.

standard color will probably appeal to a larger audience, custom colors may get you better return, but the number of buyers may be fewer.

there is always a market for well finished product however (and a good price). You might want to see if a potential buyer wants to select a particular color before you deliver.

I also love the polished lip with a black wheel. I think if you go with a black wheel, you have to have the contrast of the polished lip. Of course, I'm old school.

Did this set for an other customer a long time ago, I can't find photos though so I figured I'd ask here....

I didn't want to go OEM silver this time since almost every set you see for sale is that color, so why offer the same product if it cost roughly the same amount?

What is not to like? I love those. I would love to have a second set and do that exact same thing.

Personally, I prefer matte/satin lips over polished the lip ...more classy and less blingy, IMHO. But to each his ownn, to be sure.

And FWIW, I like the above IIs with the gray centers ...I'd maybe even go a shade lighter gray as that would match most any color. BTW, really nice wheels there, Opo!

Thanks,
My old wheels didn't look as nice as the set you did. Your set is gorgeous, Mine were similar but I did not have the polished lip but left them silver to cut costs.

Cool

Does that make me a racist?

BTW: you guys installed the tires on these rims, and on my LMs! :-)
