I still haven't had the wheels refinished, but presently I'm leaning towards metallic flecked gold spokes with a polished lip and polished metal center caps with full color crests.

The concept is there but the funding is not. All in good time...

Throwing in my vote for black or dark grey centers, polished rims, of course.

Thanks!
Bronze or weißgold would be my choice. Like this

I don't think there is anything better than Stahlgrau with Polar Silver. Jim Dorociak did mine! Thanks Jim. No affaliation - just a satisfied customer.

I am not sure how to change it. When I click on the photo with the MY02's I am not sure what choice to use to remove one and add the other. Any help would be appreciated.

On second thought, considering the choice of wheels you might want to go maybe with a polished lip and a light silver center. Kind of like a BBS LM. The stahlgrau may be too dark.

I also tried changing my photo to the Speedlines.

Sometimes it depends on the mood your in. They both look good in different ways. 996 wheels are track rats. (-:

When you have the best looking wheel for a 993 (except for 993 RS wheels) then they look good in almost any color.

I remember Chuck emailing me that picture the day he got the Kinesis wheels I sent him mounted - he was so excited.

RIP,Chuck.

I think you did just fine, Rudy... It was (is) a wonderful C4S.
