Default 993 Turbo Wheel Colour

Hi Guys,

Am having my wheels refurbished next week, Car is Polar Silver.

Any ideas on what colour? or shall I go for the standard colour, I was thinking of going a bit brighter, or maybe the Turbo S Colour.

Any suggestions? Any pics?

My vote is for something dark and neutral so either a black or perhaps dark shade of gray.

This Arena red TT has a very tastefully refinished set of stock turbo technology wheels that I find
particularly well done!

Lowering suspension too far does too. How about pink?

I have and love black wheels (with no lips), but I can telll you that it is a little bit of a negative at resale time. No regrets (because mine were factory-painted white, which was too much white for me), but it's worth considering. Having said that, silver wheels look their worst (not bad, but their worst) on a silver car, especially polar silver because of its blue-ish-ness. Just my $0.02.

i am assuming you are refinishing your original twists i would keep them original, if you want to be different buy a set of aftermarket wheels to play with but keep the original twists the original finish, my opinion
