BTW where is mideastmafia (shaun) I miss his reparte..

 

NOPE! Black phone dials look like those Nascar plain metal rims! Ick! The Dials were meant to be silver. If you like black, I say trade them for some Cookie Cutters, or Fuchs.

 

i personally like the black rims. although after hearing everyone's comments i won't be painting MY wheels black.

you guys have seen the black autothority 993TT with the black Fikse wheels and red brake rotors? that looks really good!

 

The same would go for some black Fikse's and Big Reds on a 924/944/968... That would be my ideal setup once I'm out of University and able to afford 'em.

Once thought about painting the PD's black, but thought twice and left them alone. I'm starting to think that polishing.... nah!

 

I'm not a member so i have no way of posting pics but if anyone would like to see some pictures for their own reference then please feel free to e-mail me. i have some descriptions written up in the archives as well about how to paint the wheels.

take care,
SHAUN

 

With some creative use of pastel colours, your car could look like a LeMans Edition 924S!

Phone dials just painted black, without the silver lip, look too much like cheap steel rims. Those ones WITH the silver lips, however, are fantastic!

I don't think these are offered stock, they were refinished.

 

Anyone know how much getting a cheap set of phonedials, then refinishing them to look like that would cost? I could use some replacements for my cookie cutters this spring/ summer.

 

I prefer the stock phone dial look, but to each their own...Do what makes you happy!

I might pickup aset of dials and paint them aswell. I say go for it.

If they are, I'll definately have to consider it.
