Polished all the way. You'd be surprised at how much better the wheels will look with the car lowered a little more. Sweet ride!!

I like it polished better. Why mess with perfection.;-)

 

UDP - I like the way you have it. In fact, I am sort of looking for something very similar to the wheels you have. Guess you could say that I think what you have looks great! Don't mess with it.

I like the polished best, body color can look dated. Gold looks good on darker cars, blue/black IMHO. How about the subtle look? Black centers!

 

No gold!

Have you thought of anodizing the centers and leaving the lips polished? I have that combo on my FM-10s.

 

Polished Lips w/silver or gold centers.
But you gotta drop the front some. It's easy to drop it a little. But to to do it right you should set both ends to Euro Spec and get the ERP bump steer kit. IMHO the best improvement to the 930 looks...
The red centers (to me), look a little 70's/coke spoon-ish.

 

I like the polished look. It enhances the shininess of the rest of the car by providing a good contrast. The colored wheels would be too much - IMHO.

 

I think they look great now. But how about polished lips with black centers

I didn't think I would like the red, but it looks good and it sets your car apart. You might also look at black. I have a Imola Red M Coupe that looks great with black centers

 

UD, Please don't paint those wheels! They are LM's aren't they? I think they look great as is. If you want to fool around with painted wheels, pick up a set of 16" one piece BBS wheels for under $1000, and experiment on them.

 

Gold centers really set off the red pain on the car, but thats just me, after the article in excellence on the supercharged 993 sitting on Gold LMs I have been wanting to have that set up on one of my future cars.....

But in the end its what you like.....

 

Polished!

 

Polished or polished lips with blacks centers for that classic look.

 

gold and lower it another inch
