At least the BBS wheels aren't the gold ones. Go with wheels Porsche designed for the car.

I vote BBSs

If you like to do something special, follow me. My BBS wheels were the gold ones.

I didnt like the gold. So, I removed it.

Then my friend shaved them in lathe.

And after polishing and painting they look now totally new.

WOW! Thanks for all the great suggestions. I think I will keep both. I've heard that the BBS wheels are VERY stong and would make great autocross wheels. That alone is a good reason to keep them, but I also like the idea of having something different. Good suggestion about the wheel weights Stone43, thanks.

Several of you noticed that my car looks a little high. Right now it is, but with so many other projects I've given ride height relatively low priority. Since buying the car in November, I've completely redone the interior. It was a mess! Griots Garage clay, "best of show wax" and LOTS of elbow grease brought the paint back to life. I can't tell you how many hours I've got in the MFI system but I've finally got it running pretty good (thanks Tim) -- still a little rich however (the nature of the beast?!) I'm currently saving for a front sway bar and Bilstein HD shocks all around. In about a month I'll put on the Bilsteins, turbo tie rods, new bushings and the sway bar. Then lower the car and have it aligned. It ought to look and handle MUCH better then!

North Coast, your car does look much better with the FUCHS. I love the black and silver look. I'm not so fond of the black and gold look. I think you made the right choice. Bill, I've never liked the polished look (usually it looks to showy) but after seeing your car I may change my mind. Your's looks fabulous!! Timo, what a great project. I completely agree that the black looks much better than the gold. What is the emblem on your new center cap?
