I did a really rough photoshop to see what these would look like on my car. So far, I look at the silver/polished spokes and I want to yack. I would need to buy a set of gold chains and see my dentist about some gold caps if I ever went that route.

The black spokes with polished rim and lip look really nice though. It appears to give it a way more aggressive look.

These are probably stock, 15 or 16 inch, wheels, but they can look pretty good on the early models (78-86), IMO.

D.E.C.I convertible car is from a tiny picture in "Porsche Chronicle" (1995, "by the Auto Editors of Consumer Guide").

Second car was present at the 2009 OCIC in Texas. I don't know who the owner is. Note the red color coding on the spoke flanges.

The nicest wheels I've ever owned, were the Fuchs classics on my 911 and 944. But I don't think they work on a 928

Good job! (or, at least, as good or better than me!). Before I read the title, I thought you had already put Fuchs on a '79 at some point in time!

Nice look, IMO.
