Al Z - Very sweet... I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the tea-tray spoiler look, but your car is simply beautiful.

After looking at it both ways (with and w/o polished lip), I think I like the polished lips. They help you distinguish where the wheels stop and the tires start and make you appreciate the performance rubber that much more. The full black probably look cool in person though.

No need for RUF spacers, any type of spacer in the right dimension will do. Unless it is important for to say that you have RUF spacers.

Btw, wth are you running narrow body wheels on a widebody? Sort of makes the widebody pointless, unless it is all about looks of course..

Does anyone have a photo of Ocean Blue exterior with black or body-color wheels?
Thanks.

On another note ... stupid question ... but what's the difference between a RUF spacer and a "normal" spacer of the same dimension?

Here are a couple of pics of Gig's car. It's a black 993 c2 with black centers and yellow lips. It looks pretty good in person. He did the wheels himself with a couple of bottles of spray paint.

Sorry for the bad quality, I'll email Blair to get the full pics.
