Thank you all, for your sensitive comments about wheels.

I am getting used to the black wheels, which will be my track wheels.
I'll get a set of silver rims for street/wet SS tires.
I might be politically incorrect/homophobic, but GOLD WHEELS?
Puhleeze...I'm not Warren Beatty in 'Shampoo', ya know!

Sorry Derek.

Silver street rims, but GOLD on a white car?
All I can think of is LIBERACE or a Hungarian interior decorator!

Maybe on a black/silver car.....Derek.

I always liked the look of BBS wheels, gold was OK, on a silver, red or black car.
Derek and Matt are the COOLEST guys, and they have impeccable taste, but gold on a white 997?

I would have to wear a matching WHITE VINYL BELT on DE days!

Joe, I know you are old and don't know what's in style so we are here to help.
Gold wheels on a white car is the right thing to do. it's what a body in white Cup car should look like. It's what a black, silver, white, red or blue car.

If you think gold is too much, try a darker bronze color. Or if you are faint of heart, grey wheels (a nice pewter) but come on, have fun with the thing and put something different!
