Green Machine (pics)
It's not quite done yet, but I took a break from putting it back together to snap a couple of pics. You can see the missing trim and rocker covers. I haven't painted the wheel centers black yet, I might not.

Jerry,
Wow...nice color. I have always been partial to British Racing green (or close shades) and it really looks good on the 911... R/ Dustin |

I like the wheels the way they are. Some spacers might push the rears out to fill the wheel wells better. Love the color. Nice job.
Tom

Great color, Jerry. The color of the wheels looks great with your car's new paint.

Jerry, what a great looking car! I would seriously consider leaving the wheels in their present state, they really compliment the car's color.

Super nice car! I would leave the wheels too. They look...."serious".

Looking great! Good job--I like the widebody look without the tail.

I'm surprised none of these guys said to lower the car. I like the wheels as is (are?), they set the body off nicely.

Great look. Leave the wheels. Are those steel or fg wide fenders? It looks high from the fender lip, but the a-arm geometry would tell the real story. If they are level or pointing upward slightly, you would not want to go much further. Maybe that's just the way the new fenders hang.

MEAN MACHINE!
Looks great Jerry! I've been contemplating that front spoiler for my car too. Wheels look great contrasting with the green. Have you considered a roll bar? It would complete that subtle mean machine look! |

I like the wheels too - but you need to lower that puppy and get some spacers to push those wheels out!!

IMO - Black centers (wheels) would compliment the black rings around the headlights along with the black window trims.

I vote for black or even green wheel centres.

I am planning to lower the car at least an inch maybe more and will be putting the wheel spacers on too. I'm just happy its drivable again after all these months.
