Default John Player Special Porsche GT3
I am thinking of painting my stock wheels gold, for my black 996 GT3.
The kind of gold you used to see at the JPS team Lotus. Does anybody have seen this before on a 996 GT3, or has some pictures. Could also be a 997 of course.

I've seen gold BBS E88s on a black 996 GT3. Old school for sure. It looks good.

Sorry, no pics.

These are my wheels?
Painted gold? Ivo I'll kill you!



PS. Surprisingly I like it; the JPS theme brings back memories.

I kinda like it. But when I think Black and Gold, this is what comes to mind.

He John,
No they were my original 'OEM Grey' wheels. Your wheels are still black and will stay black forever ;-)

Gold on black or white seems to work!

Q&A, I was at Spa also and saw your car, looked and sounded amazing. You're friend bought a 993 from 1 of the guys we were with. Such an amazing couple of days, weather was perfect.

Gold on your 6 looks tight n right

The JP colour scheme on Lotus is definitely spot on and translates well to your P car.
