Default NZ951 Wheels done

They are on the car now, but I dont want to give too much away till the exterior is done... Still have a few things to add.

Do you think those wheels would look ok on a Gaurds red 951?

Hard to say, I have seen one before in a pic and it looked very good. Depends on the rest of the presentation of the cars though, the one I saw had 968 mirrors and handles, looked pretty good. Maybe someone can photoshop the wheels onto your car?

Cheers, they look better in real life, see more of the shape of the wheel, they also look like 17's because the rims have more definition now. All the curb rash was welded so they look brand new now. Cheaper than buying a new set!

Those look great. Very cup car looking.
Tifo has white phones on his guards car and I think the look is perfect.

Very nice looking!
How wide tires do you have? The rims aren't to wide IIRC.

245 45 on the back and 225 50 on the front... thats about as wide as I can go... I could not justify going to wider rims just yet.
