I can do a lot of things with photoshop, but I have not figured out how to change colors and retain the original highlights and shadows. It is either "user ignorance" or my low end version of the software can't do it. I am thinking it is the former.

Thanks again!
Tim, your car is beautiful. Do NOT make the wheels darker. Please!

Definitely keep the lip silver, it makes it look more OEM. Alternatively, you can just swap out to Carrera Sport wheels, that are wider and to me the best wheels for 997!

Keep the lips silver. Not only does it look better (avoids that steel wheel look) but also is helpful in case of a little road rash which would be much more noticable with all black wheels. I, too, agree that black wheels looks better than grey on a grey car.

I agree that's the best OEM wheel. Are your spokes painted? Hard to tell with the light in that picture but looks like they are.

Points well taken. Tx. Main reason I want to see a rendering is that the lip on the rear Champions is so deep (4"). I'm not worried about the fronts but 4" of polish is a lot against black paint.

Jason,

The spokes on the Carrera Sport wheels are painted GT Silver Metallic and the lips are polished and clear coated.

Thank you! I have not made up my mind yet.

If Eric will buy the 20" Champion RF67 wheels for his Turbo, I'll buy his 19" Champion RF67 wheels for my car and leave them silver.
