Thanks Nick ! Was looking forward to your reaction as your car is my twin.

Gloss black ? Hmm, that sounds like a good idea, my Porsche center caps are gloss black and it works very well with the satin finish of the wheel. You also could just remove the rings and safe some more grams.

I'll post new pictures in this topic once lowered but I am not in a hurry, the car looks so incredibly good I am even thinking of just keeping it stock. The wheels will move more inside once lowered as you say so first want to enjoy the look as is. When the mod 'itch' needs to be scratched I'll probably do it anyway.
Have the springs already ...

This little silver ring is protection for the lip, so yes, you can go without... But its good to have as it is such a great idea and may save the wheel at some point.

I just dont like the contrast, I prefer the all black look even if Paul calls it a void! So why not play with the ring, to give it a slight difference?

No,no, you are correct, gloss black ring would look cool.
And I agree , the ring idea is great, wouldn't remove it either !
But since you like the 'void' (haha) you could remove it and thought i'dd mention it. Shouldn't have really

I really like those wheels... Looks fantastic Denis.. Especially with the Porsche center caps. I like the gold crest with the PCCB's.

Now you need to finsh the look with the" Porsche crest" valve stem caps. That's my humble opinion anyway..

I did see them and have considered them Paul. Still holding out for that tinted polished finish. fyi -- Forgestar stopped making the titanium finish aleady (only lasted about 2 months). They say they couldn't get the finished color to be consistent .....oh well, in the meantime I ordered a set of spacers for my stockers.
