Looks great JP!

Never thought about the spray on dressing for the fenderliners...thanks for the tip. I wonder if that would work as well on the black lower body mouldings too?

Should I imagine.

Gotta start wearing your hats AND pants backwards to complete the badass look. If your gonna talk the talk, ya gotta walk the walk.

I love AR. I wasn't sure about the wheels in AR as well...perhaps, too much AR? ....NOT possible! The lip helps set them off and she looks FAN-tastic!

Off to sulk about my inability to find a proper AR car when I was buying....

Great come back JP, you da man!! Love it.

And the wheels, perfect, great color and really like the polished edge, sets them of very nicely.

really nice job JP!!

worth the effort with color match and polished lip width issue!

Now you have a really wild cat instead of a little cutie kitty!!! finally speedarena got what sehe deserved

I have 10,5 techat wheels on the rear with 285/30 and the tyre fits perfectly (for me at least) Could it be, that your rear wheel is 11,0 instead of 10,5?

JP, be truthful now, how many coats of RejeX did you put on the new wheels?

Im' going with 3.

If you answer is "0" then I know what you need to do this weekend.

I'm not a fan of the 'total paint-out' look preferring a visual 'break' between wheel and tire. IIRC, the completely painted wheels on the 964 Speedsters were done after delivery and mostly in the U.S. All the factory painted wheels I've seen just do the centers and leave the lip and wall of the barrel's in brushed aluminum on the Cup I's ...


Here's another factory example on an Rs:


... and the same idea on a Cup II that I will probably eventually do on a coupe down the road ... really like this look a lot ;-P

I can totally see Cup II's on your cab with RB painted centers/caps and 5mm spacers ... I am a total instigator ...

Thanks Arpi, stock wheels are put away when I want to change it up again ..
The rears are actually 10.7" measured lip to lip and the 285's sidewalls were totally rounded off and stretched inward when mounted. You could see it the minute you walked up on the car compared to the fronts and I didn't like how the wheel edges were exposed to damage either. 295 is the recommended width tire for anything over 10" and they really fill in the wheel arch now, sidewall is vertical .. it's all good

I honestly don't know what that is .... do I need to? I better go google it ...

JP, RejeX wax is a great way to keep the wheels clean (brake dust) and makes cleaning them easier with just soap & water. No wheel cleaners necessary. I buy mine from Eric at Bumperplugs. Great for the whole car, too. Especially areas like the front bumper and side mirrors, for easier bug removal. Works well with Arena Red.
