Pete,

Welcome to NC.... that is a beautiful 911 you have there. You might want to watch for some gatherings in NC, every spring and fall there is an event here in charlotte called the Charlotte Auto Fair with a car like that i'm sure you could pull an award home. We normally have a really good showing and i'm looking forward to it in a couple of months.

UD Pride....
I'm still voting for gold on the BBS wheels, and I vote for the red fuchs..... Then you'll have the best of both worlds....

UDPride,
Not red please. It just does'nt go IMHO. Either gold or leave it silver but not red.

Polished or gold, red doesn't really work with those wheels to me. Black would look good as well, but you've mentioned leaving that out. The polished keeps a reserved look, the gold is more of an 80s look (think those gold BBS wheels with the polished lips), so it depends on what look are you trying to have with the car, whether you want it to look more contemporary or perhaps you just want to keep the more 80s style look.

Just my $9.51....

Thanks for the input fellas. Ive decided to leave the rims as-is. I just dont have the guts to change rims that are $$$$ as it is. If I hated the look or got tired, Id hate to have to live with it. With the spare Fuchs, they are off the car and just waiting for a paint job no matter what color I choose. I think Im going to paint em red as a nice change to the BBSs.
