Thanks guys, especially Derik!
I'll post some pics soon as I can combine dry weather, presence of digi-cam, and daylight (so sometime next century the way this summer's been here in the UK!) Just haven't had a chance to take any decent pictures since I've had it.
If I still have them on my HDD, I'll add some of my 'true' 911 love...black Manthey tuned GT3 I owned a couple of years back
Lol @ 'scared the little guy' (THAT'S a new one!) while I may be a Rennlist newbie, I'm a Porsche-addict and owned quite a few (with plans for plenty more!) so definitely not shy!

can you please provide details of your colored wheels?? did you paint them or are they powder coated. nice red stripe detail as well as the colored caps. i wish to do the exact same thing. i like the finish of your wheels alot, its not a flat color, but not glossy, a perfect finish imo. thanks..

Had the tires dismounted and took the wheels to my local premier body shop. They sent the wheels out to be sandblasted before prep. The wheels were then primered and painted a semi-gloss black. Then they called in a local pinstriper that matched the caliper paint just a tad darker for the stripe and center caps, all done by hand. All in all it cost me around $900 from start to finish and think they turned out great! I was told by the body shop that they did not recommend powder coating because of the heat process they go through in that it may somehow damage the aluminum. Cheers
