Great photo! With the polished lip, the wheels no longer disappear. Glad they turned out well for you. What's next?

cayman -

Are those wheels now the same as the factory black spyder wheels? They look the same to me with the small polished edge.

I think the lip is a little wider than the factory black wheels. Also, I think the lip is polished compared to the silver painted lip on the factory black wheels.

Stop this at once!

I'm meant to be selling my Spyder, but all this is making me want (even more) to keep it.

That looks really good.

Not beacuse of anything to do with the best sportscar Porsche currently makes, that's for sure!

Many factors - disabled wife, too many cars, not enough time, not enough garage space, new business venture - all that sort of stuff.

I would really like to keep it. And who knows? Maybe I will. :-)

That looks fantastic!

Definitely the best iteration I've seen of the black wheels.

I have always wondered what the Spyder wheels would look like with black painted spokes and silver outers.

Nice camera work too. Will be using that as a desktop picture.
