You are a VERY sick man. And ilko's right; lose the red calipers.

Bill love your choice!

Those match well with the work youve already done colour keying your inlet manifolds (by chance mine are being done as we speak). I think the orange really works well against the blue. Orange "carrera" script would work really nicely or have something custom fashioned like the 997 GT3 below....

Those will look great with some other orange accents. And if you send your old wheels to Mike Gonzalez, you can send them to my house. I'll make sure he gets them...maybe.

the're pretty light, less than BBS My02 996 8 &10 x18 @ 18 & 19#s respectively. That's just bathroom scale weight I'll reweigh tomorrow w/ a good e-scale
Maybe a vinyl hood stripe as well...

I'm sure you've seen all the ones that gut on the Pelican boards does.

I was going to say I'm not feeling the color, but seeing them on the car, they look great!

Awesome! I love the bold colors on race cars! The current GT3RS with the orange or green is pure testosterone!!!

Would love to have some crazy bold color, but due to street use, I like to be stealthier... Keeps me away from that 930 Guards/black I've always wanted....well, that and the $$$.

I was just going to suggest just that, some orange accents such as mirrors, door handles with these wheels would be awesome looking!!

Kinda want to do this with my black car.
