Default Track rims color poll:

So unless I can sell the rims close to asking price, I am going to make them my track rims. To make sure I dont get them confused with other sets, I want to powder coat them in an interesting color, but neon green with red interior looks not-so-good.

Thinking about gloss blood red.
Thoughts?

Oh yeah, Will probably have some sets of vinyl cut up to read "993 C2S" in GT3RS script in matching color to rims just for sticks and giggles.

My vote is for a bright Ruby red color. I'm not sure about the vinyl, but it might work.

Regardless, your car looks great!

Red looks the best out of all of the choices. I think all of them would look even better if you only powder coat the centers. If you're going to paint the whole rim, will you remove the centers from the rim halves or just leave them on?

They are monoblock rims, so I want to do the entire rim inside and out. (photos do not show this)

Orange would be cool, but there is another silver 993 that already has a set! : )

I always like silver & black

black is a lot easier to take care of, i.e. clean

Another vote for red! They're track rims, so they should be a bright color (i.e. not black). And red works better with your interior than orange, yellow, etc.
