I've seen several photos of "concours" quality 993s and other models in which the wheels have been painted to match the exterior color of the car. On the photos I've seen the result is quite striking but I'm curious regarding people's experience/opinion. I guess to some extent it depends on the color of the car. If you've done this with your wheels, I'd appreciate your insights as well. In addition, does anybody know an easy way to "doctor" a photo of your car to "virutally" try out the color change? Thanks.
cheers

Brit-- I hear ya. Some are suprisingly good, but, IMHO, most at least need some contrast to break up the single-scheme paint colors, such as a contrasting lip.
Slate Grey's one of my favorite colors, but this polished lip's more appealing to me than uni-color wheels. From the "A genuine 993 Turbo Cabriolet based on a 965?" thread...
