Default What do you think of my new look?

I just changed my carrera 4S 18" sport Design wheels for some 18" speedline Alesio's. I really like the old school look it gives the car. But my brother on the other hand tells me I'm crazy for taking of the sport designs. What do you guys think?
I think it looks bad-***!! lol
(sorry about the lighting in the pics, it raining hard and I just put them today, tomorrow I'll take som better ones.)

Well, I'm a bit biased (click the link in my signature to see my 951 wearing the 18" sport design wheels). If you like the 80's look, the Speedlines look fantastic. But one thing I like about the 951 is its contemporary appeal. It wears the 18" Sport Design wheels very, very well.

jmj951 I agree with you, the sport designs do make the car look newer. and the wheels look bigger than the speedlines because the have such a small lip. But I like the old school look, I'll try and stay with the two although I also have my factory D90's. they are 7x16 and 9x16.

Speedlines = Classic – Aggressive

Sport Design = Classy – Contemporary

I like both, but lean towards the Speedlines.

I like then both car looks gorgeous either way and the question is not only the looks but $$


Sport Design = $$$$

Speedlines = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

So many Porsche wheels do well on the 944. Never thought I’d like the Techno wheels so much… they look better in person and are hollow spoke to boot.

Yea, I love my new speedlines!!! I'm really torn here, stay with the sport designs and sell the D90's or the other way around. I'm more inclined into selling the sport designs, just because the D90's are the OEM wheels of the car and they are rather difficult to find here...
