Well, the wheels are off, and going to the shop tomorrow. They should be done Friday, but it'll be next Sunday before I can think about getting them back on and pics taken. That'll be something to do while watching Indy.

Looking forward to seeing the finished wheels on the car. The Cup IIs look sooooo right on a properly set up 993 (euro height) and the "hyper-silver" finish will compliment the Midnight Blue perfectly.

Can you post the paint codes for the undercoat and the color coat? I've been trying to find a way to get them since I saw that color on Lexus' when they started using it a couple of years ago...

I've been all over the map on wheels; MY02, Sport Design, Kinesis, Fikse, on and on. I keep coming back to the Cup II's, but with a little spice added. I've got a wheel refinisher near me, who happens to support the local PCA region, and I dropped by to talk to him today. My wheels are pretty nice, but with a couple of chips from the years, and I want to refinish them. I was thinking about a gray color, but he has a mult-part process he calls Hypersilver that looks pretty nice.

Nathan will be re-finishing my Avant wheels in Hypersilver once i get the time to get him the wheels for 4 days.
cheers

I always like the hypersilver. Lots of Totota/Scion/Lexus use this color for their standard wheels. I had this done to mine but it's a little too light. They look better in the dark.

I picked them up this afternoon. They look great. I hung two on for a pic on the phone, but the lighting and phone don't allow for a good look. I'll mount them Sunday and take some better pics.

Maya and I stopped by Velvet Touch to check them out and to help me decide if i really wanted to go hyper, or just stick with argent.
She clearly likes the hyper silver also.
Ed, I'm sure you'll enjoy your "new" cups.
