^ My993C2, are your LM's 17" or 18"? I didnt see you mention it and I was guessing the reason they look different is because they arent 18's?

Wow, a lot of great cars and wheels here. Best wheels ever for the 993.

Here is my Arena Red C2S with reverse mounted 18". Polished lips and brushed grey centers.

Polish the lips, I powdercoated the centers on my 993 and painted them on the M3. Either way don't polish the centers. Strip carefully and paint or powdercoat by someone who knows what they are doing.

19" Custom LM's

Decided to change it up a bit. Barrels were painted gloss black and the centers matte black.

Seen this beauty in person and the wheels are the perfect contrast to arena red paint. Well done Michael.

Came out great. How do you like the handling/turn-in with 19's?
