So I have a dilemma......
I have two sets of wheels for my C4S (one set of stock turbo twists from 1996 & one set of newer turbo twists from a 2003 turbo) I have always liked the look of painted wheels on the 993.
So my dilemma is, which set do I paint? and what color to paint them on an arena red C4S???
I have always liked the arena red painted wheels that I've seen on a few cars, but if you have any photos of painted turbo twists (new or old style) post them to help me make up my mind.
Thanks,
Ryan

Plasti-dip them. Its easy to do, and easily reversible. If you like the look, then do it permanent. If you dont...peel it off and its like nothing ever happened. Plasti-dip should last a few seasons and is inexpensive.

Steel grey will look awesome with arena red

If you are not sure that colour will be better, you can make a proof with plasti dip spray, I made a proof in iron grey (matt) colour, it´s too easy to apply and easy to remove

I always wondered if you could put a skin on them, like how people wrap their cars. You would think it would work and not really be that much effort to do 4 wheels. I'd toyed with going with black centers on my Hollows and wouldn't want to paint, but would do a wrap.
