Just picked her up on Tuesday. Love the wheels, dont really know what they are though. I was told they were Gembella for the dealer (found what i think they are on Gembellas website.) but was told that they might be Cargraphics from someone that knew the car before.
Either way i think they look good on the car

Not sure if these make the cut, but a friend did a photo shoot of the C4S yesterday. These are actually my 2nd set of Work's with the new 2009 anodized lip as opposed to the 2008 polished lip with clearcoat (old in the avatar pic on side). More pics to follow in the next week or two....

so instead of vying for coolest wheels I am going to make an application for "whose got the coolest center caps?". here's my submission...CNC'd-billet-caps-painted-black-to-match-Techart-Formulas-with-imbedded-silver-hood-crest

David-- When you change the rules of the game, of course you'll win. Really, you win regardless; those centers are jeweler's-quality. How did you obtain, through Techart? PLEASE post more pix of them on your Porsche.

Just when I thought I could score a point with my impossibly-rare silver crest Ralph Boothe creations, you emerge with big guns blazing & blow us all outta the water! The coolest I've ever seen. Now, if you could just get the 'no-turn technology' version, plus play the 'Night Rider' theme as you drive by [click YouTube video...]




Mine, thanks to RLers Old Guy & & especially Jenk12M:

Default Center caps and white p-cars

As a relative Newbie I've just gone through this entire thread for the first time. I was looking for an image of a Glacier White car with colored Porsche crest center caps on the wheels.

First, there is, or should be, a word for a thread like this. I'd call it "Pornsche". Holy smokes! What a bunch of amazing looking cars and wheels.

I was struck by almost 40 pages in which there were very few white cars. Are white car guys, like me, too low key to really go for it as far as wheels are concerned? I'm now really inspired to do something about wheels on my own car but have little clue how wheels that I liked would look like on mine. This is a request for any Glacier White owners to come forward on this thread who haven't already.

By the way, on the colored or black painted Porsche crest center caps I've come to the conclusion that on white or silver cars I prefer the black painted center caps, which may mean that a silver hood logo on a white p-car would look great. Anyone have a pic of that combo?

Also, though it will be boring as all get out, I'll post a pic (once I take it) of my Twists with black center caps. This thread needs a touch of reality. Honest, I've never seen so many amazing wheels!
