Hey for $150 you don’t have a lot of skin in this. If you don’t like it then change it for another $150. Post up a few photos of them mounted on the car.

I think it will look good, you might want to tie in with a orange decal on the side or stripes on the roof (if no sunroof).
That's so cheap! I paid $800 to get mine done on my 20" Audi TTS Rims

Carlo_Carrera - I have a few friends in the game.

Nas - Depending on how it looks I might get the Porsche decals on the side in orange.

That's an incredible price. I paid that per wheel a few years ago.

Not gonna lie, at first I thought ewww... then I thought about it with matching orange decals and thought wow that’d look super sharp on white!

Well done! 👍

Can’t wait to see the end result! I like when people experiment with wild colors on wheels. Mostly because they are braver than I am LOL!

I’m in La Crescenta CA. I just want to remind everyone I have friends in the industry that resulted in the low cost. Normally the entire thing would cost 500-800.

I’m waiting on the silicone bead to dry around the two pieces of each wheel. It takes 24 hours.

If you like it that is all that matters.

IMO if you are going with those wheels you have to go all in like the 997 RS with the decals and such to bring it together.
