Default finally posting pics of my new wheels

i wanted to go for a different look to my car but i didn't want to go with black wheels like my previous car. i have always liked the 996tt wheels on 993 WBs so i picked a set up from a rennlister and had them powdercoated.

i went with an audi dark charcoal looking metallic color and had a matte clear sprayed instead of the regular type of clear that would have made the wheels look shiny. the metallic paint with the matte clear really gives the wheels a nice finish.

i like the non-deep dish look to the wheels and i think it makes the car look a lot "tougher".

waddya think?

Roche-

Seeing your car reminds me of my old C2S....silver and black look very good. I like your version better with the "all black" rim compared to the chrome trim ring on my iForged rims.

Nice job!

Very cool. I love those wheels on the widebodies. The custom finish works well on your car. I like the yellow brakes, too.
