Default new wheels...pics

I just got in my new wheels. I think they look awesome and the paint work done by Eli at FastForwardWheels is top notch. He did a really quality job and was faster than I was expecting.

Also Carlos at Wheeldynamics is a class act and knows what he is talking about. Great to deal with.

Mark, those wheels look stunning on your car. I hope we will both find black easier to keep clean.

BC going to a lot of work there after the guy put a lot of bones into his car....
Why post a picture of an aerokit car, game not over.

Black and red go together very naturally.
The yellow calipers do clash, black would be better, or try to photoshop red?

I'm not huge on black wheels myself, but Mfletch your car has an especially tough stance.

yea i'm sorry man i don't mean to sound like an outright ****, just calling it as i see it and typing it out.

i actually like those oem wheels. def one of the better looking wheels from porsche, but thenporsche approves a lot of ugly oem wheels all the same.

if it were me giving the guy some consultation... i would've said to go gunmetal with the lip in the original silver. i would've kept the calipers stock black to avoid the ronald mcdonald scheme.
