Default Bronze Wheels? Would I do that? Yes, yes I would
Although I love the graphite look, I had to try something new, and here we have the new look for my 951 (I have a 2nd set of phone dials in silver)...








And how about this for an Artistic 951 shot....

If I could afford the Volks I wouldn't be painting wheels, I'd be happy to run those as they come, but until that day comes i'll have to continue my garage wheel painting madness.

Wow... You can feel the negativity in this thread... I dont think they look that bad, theyd go nice on a dark brown 944.

It looks O.K . Maybe try a brass color-Remember the Countach with those color wheels.

Ian, it's hard to get a grasp of how they look in those pictures. Can you take a full side shot that's well lit?

Hummm... All you would need is

1 plastic 55G drum
Filled 30/70 battery acid to distilled water
a big aluminum hanger
huge hunk of lead.
battery charger that can push about 60 amps for 20 min.
and a spare phone dial to anodize

I've got a spare set I'm trying to figure out what to do with.
I assume you would have to completly strip them first? How much would it cost to do?
I suppose that you can anodize them just about any color right?
