While I like either / both, it feels like color matched Fuchs centers are having a moment (once again)...

I would have to agree that the color match is coming back.

Looks great blue on blue. Never liked the white on white combo.

Like the blue. I had these done for my recently painted Lime Green ‘74 911 Targa.

I like the classic Fuch look (bright petals and black background). I think full black on that car doesn't match. I do like the body-colored centers in Famoroso's post.

Interesting - I think white on white is the best looking combo, others seem a bit off to me. (but of course, I am biased, owning a white/white car )

Another option, ‘73 RS style rims (greyish petals on black background) with or without polished ( and clear coated) outer edges.



Cheers,
Johan

I know I'm repeating myself Frank, but I do love that car. Every thing about it. And the color coded wheels - to keep it on-topic.

Like this (hopefully, we're staying on topic for the original poster?)...








Speaking of...

OP,

What's the vision for "the Gulf inspired look?" How far do you intend to take it?
