Yippe I have started a rennlist trend....
So far that is:
Me x 2 (951 and my VW's are getting done this weekend)
Tifo
CR
My Father(964 Turbo)
Anyway,
CR your wheels are looking great, i'm glad you did them to the twists, I think it really sets your car off.

ian,
thanks for all your help. they turned out great. im lovin the new look. a bit meaner.
one question, how do you take such nice sharp pictures when you post pictures. is it just a nice digital camera. i just have to scan regular pictures, and they are always a little fuzzy. i want to take some nice sharp pictures.

Despite the fact that I've had black wheels and have always been a proponent of anthracite, I think your car would look better with silver because it would match your paint. Black wheels are good on dark cars. Red, white, silver, etc.,(except for yellow) really dont flow well with dark rims.
Yet CR.. your car, your choice. None the less a beautiful piece of machinery. Very nice car bro.

shaun,
i respect your opinion. they were silver to begin with, but it was just a little bit different shade of silver than the car, and i didn't like the match. and i just kind of wanted to do something different. im still getting used to the color myself. its a little darker than i had expected. but maybe ill keep it like this for a while and then try something different. its fun just to change stuff from time to time. thanks again for your opinion.

and its not a great digital camera, one of the old sony's, but it does take clear pictures, and is very easy to use. Digi cameras are getting better and better, and it works a lot better than the scan method, and if you like prints some camera stores will print out your digi prints like they were normal pictures.

.
LP, 86' 951 and stuff............ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
