Photoshoppers/Wheel decisions "help needed"
I'm looking at buying some 18" Simmons wheels for our 993. I'm torn between two models. The FR18 and the OM18. As I cant actually get some of the wheels and try them on the car before I buy it's kinda hard to decide. Simmons make the wheels to order so once I've asked for them they're mine no second chance. I'm aware of all the other wheels available believe me I've looked and drooled. But these are through a friend who manages a tire shop and are a great price and also 12 months interest free and I like them. I also cant decide between silver centres or gold. Have a look at the pics and let me know what you all think. Sorry about all the pics and the poor angle of our car. It's in getting new shocks at the mo so I cant take any photos side on until it's back. My thanks to you all in advance.
Our car.

I like the OM's cause they're the classic Porsche racing Y spoke wheel style. But the FR's are easy to clean and show the disc and calliper well and are also a five spoke which I like. I think I'm leaning towards gold centres more but I'm still undecided.

Crikey you guys are all making this too easy. The FR's don't stand a chance at this rate.
I thought the silver on a white car may have been a bit boring. They have a choice of 5 colours or a custom colour at extra expense. I'm leaning towards gold.

Not to disparage those with gold wheels, but they look too 80's, too DP Turbo Targa slant nose, too bling-bling, too Firebird Trans-Am. My $0.0000002
You're driving a 993! How can it be boring looking? The OM's are racy enough that, if it were my white 993, silver wouldn't even be an issue.
