Look very cool IMHO. I really like how the caps turned out . . . now let's git 'em mounted and git those pics up.

I think they look great and will give your 993 a more agressive look... very nice.

Awesome color combo with the wheels and centercaps, can't wait to see them on the car. Nice to see someone charting new territory and trying something different, I've never seen color matched wheels in that color!

Svaha, search here and google the web - you can apply basic bodywork techniques to fix curb rash.

As a fellow Iris Blue owner ...I have to admit, they look FAB!

Not for nothing, I was playing around in Photoshop, over the winter, and 'experimenting' with colored wheels.

Touche!

Svaha,
This set of Cup II's were a track set and had curb rash on them, but the wheel refinishing shop fixed all of that during prep at no additional charge. And I don't mind you doing a set as long as you keep your car out of California............lol

g_murray,
I did the photoshop thing too but decided that the only way to truely get the idea I wanted was to do a spare set and see how it turned out, so far I can say they are better than I imagined and cannot wait to see them mounted next week either.

Alright, you passed... this time. But I am personally taking on the responsiblity to ensure you keep your car bone stock... as I think you may be on to something.

But if you can't I want to be there to say "I told you so"!

I still have the wheels in my avatar so if I get called on the carpet by a purist, I'll just mount them back up and be 100% bone stock again....

.....man could I go for a plate of Skyline Chili with tons of onions right about now.... that or maybe a Coney.......yummm

Your talking about a 4-way. Wise choice.

Say the word and I will overnight you and your family a complete Skyline dinner (frozen)... not as good as the sloppy sh#t served at the restaurant, but when you live in CA you make sacrifices.

Rob

p.s. Back to the topic... post those damn pics.

OK you guys, here's a couple of mid quality pix, it's not very sunny & the car is filthy from the rain. I'll clean it up this weekend and do some glamorous shots.............ZP44

Nice! I'm not generally a fan of body-colored wheels but you just can't go wrong with Iris Blue, ya know?

All you need now is a bone-stock RoW M030 suspension to lower that puppy down.
