They are going on his 944S. Should match perfectly and look great IMO.

"why do you say it's the wrong colors?

All that really counts is that YOU like it.
I did the same thing a few year ago (black car) and I liked it at first but after about a month got rid of the wheels in favor of a near-oem color. For me the lesson was, silver-ish wheel colors just fit best. Just my 2 cents...Bruce

That's going to look VERY good on your red car. Post some pics of it when its done.
The color combination is very unique, good job on taking the risk, that car will stand out

I don't think I would've painted the lip red, but they still look good.

Picked up the cam cover today, it looks EXCELLENT!



I will be picking up everything tomorrow, and will post pics of the intake manifold, brake calipers, and finished wheels.
