Personally I do not like either, but if I had to pick it might be #1. I really do not like #2, sorry. Not sure about the chrome comments above. I have seen some really nice chrome wheels on dark colored cars that really accent the cars looks without being ugly. Things hanging from the mirror or in the rear deck not required ;-0

You might consider getting other wheels like some BBS, HRE, Kinesis, or Fikse to name a few. They have some really nice designs that far exceed the stock and optional Porsche wheels.

 

I don't understand why you would care about the personal preferences of a bunch of cyber strangers regarding the aesthetics of your car. You should get whatever looks best to you & pleases your taste.

FWIW, I don't like chrome wheels (tacky), the Sport Design wheels (too busy), carbon fiber or aluminum dash trim, beets, brussels sprouts, and a bunch of other things. That doesn't mean you should. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

 

Sport Designs.......I love the look of those! Would like to put a set on my car.

Beets, brussels sprouts, and chrome wheels are another matter. Dan is right - who cares what others think? Stick with what appeals to you. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

 

Out of the 2, the 2nd set look far better...

Nice combo Kim!! <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

 

Thanks for all the positive comments on chrome wheels I can't wait to get my NEON kit and my GOLD license plate frame <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> Try being a little more opened minded. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> The Techart Wheels that I have are lighter than 75% of the aftermarket wheels I looked at and I don't really think I will have a problem with rusting.

Keep in mind not everyone wants to look like every other Porsche on the road. <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/largeprofile2.jpg" alt=" - " />

 

dump the crome
get the sports design...
then get it painted dark bronze or matt black
you'll be amazed how they change the car

 

Im going to agree with Kary on this one. I would box up all 8 wheels, sell them, and then find an aftermarket wheel that you love....

 

GTR 993 I love those wheels. The black ones they have on the techart website are lust material for me. I just took a new consulting job so I can buy a set without upsetting the wife (too much).

 

"Chrome wheels don't belong on a Porsche" someone better wake James Dean from the dead and tell all the other old time Spyder drivers they made a mistake.LOL <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/chromespyder" alt=" - " />

 

I almost forgot tell them the Chrome accents in the interior look "tacky" also. <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/spyderinterior" alt=" - " />

I think you should go with option 2. I don't like the chrome look on those wheels with your exterior color. I have seen some cool crome and or highly polished wheels in different designs but not on the twists. Just my opinion.

 

For a second I thought I had mistakenly been linked to one of the roadfly forums I read and someone was ordering a new 330ci and wanted to know what color combo was best...I digress...

I think this thread needs the help of Jimbob.
