Talking A picture of my new wheels

This picture was taken by Wheel Enhancements with my freshly mounted K28s. Also notice my new "bumperette-less" front bumper. The wheels look even better in the sunlight. What do you guys think?

Kinesis wheels are the sweet meat. Make it juicy. Love pimp pump....

If I may be a little picky? The corner lights and the fog light lens are different shades. Probably nothing can be done.

Very Nice Steve,

Did you have the car lifted too?

nota_troll,

You dog. You had to point that out! Yes, I've been thinking of two solutions:
1). new fog lenses,
2). turbo S brake duct/fog lights.

I prefer to go with the S ducts, but they are about $400/pr and require painting. I'll check on new fog lenses and try to decide.

Anybody have any other options or better prices?

Phil,

Lifted? Lifted? You mean raised up? No, I've got the ROW springs and shocks. Is there something wrong with the ride height? Oh my gawd, you guys are way too picky for me.

Steve,
Carnewal has turbo s ducts for 275 euro = 312 US.....You should be able to have them painted for less than a hundy...They are Porsche factory units.

I have them on my black beast

don't worry about your "lift" kit, it took me 2 years to get my car lowered!

Wheels are beautiful Steve. I have K40's (I think) on a '96 M3. 3 But yours are the nicest I've seen. Good choice!

Wide body looks aggressive. The wheels are awesome. The bumper is beautiful. Clear turn signals is cool addition. The red calipers is a nice touch. Turbo wing is fantastic. Your car looks AMAZING!!!!!

Steve - car looks super! Wheels are sweet. No doubt about it, go with the Turbo S brake ducts. I did exactly that, the S ducts with the euro side marker lens. But I still have those damned bumperettes. Haven't been able to convince myself to do the whole bodyshop thing and everything.

Sputnik - those wheels appear to be FRH (Model BOB III) 3 piece knock offs of turbo twists.

Do you have amber lights in your indicators?

You should definitely consider the Philips SilverVision replacement lights. They look silver but emit orange light
