Default Looking for pics of Atlas grey cars

Want some new wheels. I have lobsters on there now and just want something different. Would love to see pics of atlas grey cars with different wheels. Love the new fuchs style but not sure black would work. Show my what you got please
Thanks

Here's a link to my "Got it!" post. There are a bunch of shots there of my Atlas gray 997 with Carrera Classics. I like the minimalist wheel approach. Super easy to clean and give a good view of the red calipers.

Just my .02 but I believe the black sport classics would look good on your color car. It's all personal preference but gloss black "should" pull the grey out of your paint a bit more.

Great color car!

I agree that the black Fuchs would be insane on your car. I had midnight blue lobster claws on my 2008 4S and I now have black CLs on my 2012 4 GTS ...the only rims I like better than the black CLs are the black Fuchs. Two words: Bad. ***.

Ksozay-congrats on your new car. Stunning is the only word. I have never liked 911 cabs. Just plain don't like the way they look except------yours. Just amazing.
The one thing about an odd color car like mine is trying to find pics with different wheels. I see some cool HRE's but mine are already a nightmare to keep clean and I wash my car a couple of times a week. The fuchs to me are just about perfect and may complement my black tips, black stone guards and black front lip. Just wish I could see it before dumping a couple of grand on it.

I really like the Sport Classic Fuchs wheels. So much so I put them on my car. Think they'd look great on gray as well, especially considering the different colors the Atlas Grey can look from time to time.

It's not a great pic, but it's Atlas and Fuchs...

Thanks

Thank you for the compliment! Send me a side photo of your car well lit, and I will have the sport classics added via an artist we've got internally. Will help you see exactly what it would look like. I debated getting a set of HRE wheels but decided I really liked the traditional look of the sport classics. Super easy to keep clean

My highest compliments!

just curious - do you ever head to the cars and coffee events at classic BMW? would be cool to meet a few more 911 drivers in the area.

Haven't done so yet, but probably should head out there. Our Saturdays are busy and it's an hour away from me.

I did hit the Boardwalk car show a number of weeks ago. Pretty nice event.

that is a bit of a haul. luckily, i live right down the tollway off of Park. maybe we'll run across each other there sometime. i didn't hear about the Boardwalk show - what dealership? Boardwalk Porsche and Audi throw their Hot August Nights shows during the summer and some great cars show up.

i was with LG in wanting new wheels. i am still running lobsters on an Arctic Silver car and it lacks any contrast - a tad boring, even though i really like the lobster design. these are now sitting in the garage waiting to be mounted. these should be the perfect amount of contrast to really set the beetle off.
