Oh, sorry. I couldn't see those pics. I think it'll look McDonald's ricey with red lips on yellow wheel, but hey, if it floats your boat, knock yourself out. Somehow, the only time I think I've liked the red/yellow combination is on Momo livery. Otherwise, it usually looks garish.

Serious comment: I like the gunmetal/anthracite (single color) look. Black is too space saver spare-ish.

Hmmm. What about gunmetal with the red lip. Just leave the holes alone...

Slightly ricey, but it sounds good. Heck, a 944 looks like an RX-7, anyway.

Well then...you'll have to get you one of these:






j/k...do whatever floats your boat. But I really do think the gunmetal grey is a nice purposeful look....plus it won't show brake dust as much.

I will get them this weekend... I put the tires on and played a little on the county roads... Pulled em off real quick though for fear I would do something that would require your services to remedy...


Autocross is Sunday... I'll put em on Saturday and take some pictures before I load the car...

And he is fixing to have the campershell painted red too. The p/o of that trailer sprayed some cheap paint on it that is flaking bad. So at some point we are going to stip the sides and fenders down and paint them red. Just leave the floor black to hide leaks.


If you can't tell there is a slight obsession with red around our place...
