well, just add a few red LED lights going back and forward under the vented nose panel, and you got K.I.T.T. 2000 from the Knight Rider

Personally i love the wheels on Jurg's 951. My favorites are Fuchs and cookie cutters as i think they look great on red and black cars. 16-inch phonedials also look great on our cars in my opinion.

And lets not forget these sexy phonedials...gunmetal with a polished lip.





oh and how about these 15-inch phonedials!

I have a real beat up (but straight and true) phonedial that i picked up at a salvage yard for 15 bucks sitting under my carport. I was planning on trying to strip the wheel and do the paint/polish myself, but havent found the time to do so yet. Maybe this summer.

Personally i think any dark colored wheel looks great on a red car, as black and red are a great color contrast. If it were me, i would skip the gunmetal/anthracite (spelling?) color and go with either a gloss or flat/powder-coat black and the polished lip. I seriously toyed with the idea of doing this too my phonedials, but i dont know how they would look on a Zermatt Silver car. I figure it wouldnt be too hard to paint them whatever color you wanted. Just gotta strip it too the bare aluminum and mask off the lip. I wouldnt know how you achieve the polished/chrome lip look.

There was someone selling PD's that looked exactly like that on ebay.de a while back. They also said in their ad that they could so your wheels if you sent them in. I really like those PD's.....(not as much as Fiske FM-10's)

That's where those pictures are from actually. Problem is that they were in Germany, and I'm guessing international shipping on PD's isn't worth it.

I am not a big fan of black wheels. I really never have been, I feel it blends in with the tires and doesnt look right. I however am a big fan of polished lips and rims. Powedercoating colormatching is okay it just would depend on the color of the car. MY 951 is white so I wouldn't mind white c2's with polised lips....?? hmm...ideas ideas
