Default Gratuitous pic thread. 16" phones on my car with track tires

It was humid as hell today, no paint to be done on the wheels ( I was leaning toward white). But anyway, I thought I would put them on the car after I cleaned them up and check to see what they looked like in silver................









So, they look pretty good in silver. I may even just leave them silver. Whatcha think? BTW, the Toyo Proxes RA-1 tires make the car handle like a banshee.

PS. I meant to add that 7"X16" 951 phones DO FIT OVER 928 S4 front calipers if they are on an early offset car with the Powerhaus brackets. They won't fit on late offset cars, but early offset cars have 1/4" clearance.

Awesome, that looks great, i might go w/ the silver, white would be pretty cool though, maybe black as well, I want to see your car w/ the color matched fuchs, that is what I am going to do w/ my track wheels.

It has been low for awhile, with coil-overs all the way around. Much lower than stock, but with such a high spring rate there is no issue with rub (usually)......

It just couldn't be a Sunday with at least viewing some old pics of Tifo's car. Why? Cuz Tifo's car ROCKS, man! And Tifo goes and posts some new **** anyway! Rock ON, Tifo.

Don't do the breathmint wheels, man. Black. Cuz black rocks! Looks cleaner longer (sorta like staying fresher longer), doesn't clash with the tires.

great, cant wait, your car is like what i am modeling mine after... I am doing the turbo front end conversion soon, and eventually doing more suspension stuff, but your car is amazing! We should meet up sometime, i have come up to cinci before and probably will again to get some paint help from XSboost, i'd love to see that car in person.

I will probably change it again when you post with the color matched Fuch's. I change my wallpaper on a regular basis with your updated pics.

Will try them out at Mid-Ohio next weekend.
