1991 C2 Turbo wheels choices ( choice made )

I personally think Polished look would be too much bling bling factor for a Porsche Red.It seems like i am inclining towards the black center look what do you all think ?

I bet black bbs's or Fikse fm 10s would look good. If you find some choices, the guys here can usually do a great photoshop job and let you see what it looks like.

Powdercoat those rims black. It would look sweet against your brakes, and accentuate your trim and tail rubber...



Maybe someone can reinforce this look via photoshop... ?

Cheers

Thanks to all who took time and responded to my poll
Ken,
With Fikse FM 10 it would be hard to see the calipers and thats the reason i want a 5-spoke style wheel.

3.6 turbo wheels are the best looking wheel I have seen for your car. Fully polished is by far the best looking wheel on a red car! I have fully polished 3.6 turbo wheels on my 91 I had chrome turbo twist on it and of course the originals before that. I also had a set of tt wheels, and even a set of boxter wheels just to see what it looked like.

Eric,
Can you please post some picts of your car
Kenikh,
I really like the look of all black wheels as it really brings out the curves in this car but i would still like to look at the balck centers with polished lip.
I wonder if you have time and patience to photoshop both Fikse FM-5 or Kinesis K-58 in black centers/polished lip set up for me ? I know it's gonna be some work but i would really appreciate the help.
Thanks again.

I really like the CCW track wheels with the black centers and they only run $1800. www.ccw.com They're not 5 spoke, but you don't need folks to see your big reds, everyone knows they're there. If you want a nice 5 spoke, I like the later 996 thin 5 spokes, all you'll see is the caliper!

I did the black wheel thing which I like but I prefer a little trim accent.

Here are some pics of my car with its racing shoes on.
