Best looking wheels for the red widowmaker.
What size are the wheels with which offset?

Heading into Cars and Coffee last weekend.

Oldturd, that Red with Gold wheels is fantastic. Also curious to hear wheel specs.

Talking 37 years dreaming about it but I got it done! My first 911

Brand new owner 37 years in the making but I got it done :-) here is my baby!
Looking forward to getting down and dirty on this forum and learning the ins and outs of this beauty.

Congrats on the car but I'm not sure if it's the pic or what, but the door, hood, and bumper look to be different colors.

I hope it's just the pic playing games on my eyes (for your sake).

AhAh, indeed the lighting and this Polar Silver Metallic is very tricky to capture. This particular photo as a filter applied to it which I can exaggerate the natural - almost hue shifting - Color!

It's a pretty unusual color which I have not seen many of, it has a very light bluish hue to it which depending on how the light hits the car it can be more or less intense. I love it.

my speed yellow has the same flop that changes colors as well

Did you do any processing on that first picture? It looks like too much use of the clarity slider in Lightroom.

yeah I did. Second day of ownership and a bit excited on the lightroom sliders for sure. I actually lack the experience of tweaking photos for cars using lightroom so any advice on best settings etc is appreciated :-)!
