Default Adventurine Green and MY 02 5 spoke wheels - a good match?

If anyone has pics of this combination, I would love to see them. Also would be curious to see how BBS RS-GTs look against Adventurine.

TIA,
Joe

personally, i don't think the color of the car has much to do with whether the wheels will look good (unless you are using painted rims).

IMO, one of the best looking rims for the 993s.

I think you all are right. My other choice is the (somewhat rare in 65mm rear ET) OEM 996 style turbo twist. However, I've heard this is a heavy wheel - similar to the turbo twists already on my car.

If anyone has an Adventurine car with MY 02 5 spokes, I've love to see it.

Cheers,

Iris Blue is the best I can do. I think they would look really nice on Adventurine.

Those are a perfect match to any 993, IMHO. And on top of their good looks, they are strong and light ...you just can't lose with the '02 5-spokers.

All I know is that they look damn good on black! I don't think you can go wrong with those wheels.

I would think those rims would look great with any colour car!
