The How do your Fuchs look? thread
 

I am trying to decide what to do about my rims
I have a 72 with 16's , black centers

I would like to see painted and all the rest of the versions of these rims to help me decided what to do with them.

THey need to be redone soon, and I can't decide what to do.

here is the rims now

Polished petals and lips. (7/8 x 16) My
fave.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1109574903.jpg

I like your stock look best.

I agree with strother. I think the black centers accent the black trim on the car very well.

I'm going through the same thought process too.

Here's my recent thread with all the details:

I am leaning more towards the black centers now. I think your car looks good with black centers as well.

this has been done many times, but nobody ever misses a chance to post pics of their 911: 7/9" x 16)--cant upload pics??

16x7's - Flower Polished
 

I was wondering if anyone has done, a silver painted center

7 & 9 X 16. polished paddles & lips

but I think I actually liked the look of 15x7s / 8s with a stock non-polished look better.

I prefer painted black anodized lip, but that's not what I currently possess.

These polished with black webbing look nice too.

Just finished polishing these. Time consuming, but pretty easy otherwise.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1109621812.jpg

JMZ, is that by the Rothko Chapel and De Menil? I can't believe I've never seen your car around!

Its all been done before !

I like the siilver centres as it "grows" the wheel. A number of 911 owners have asked if they were 17s. You also get to see all the detail of the Fuchs centre that is hidden with the black centres. Just MHO.

I am however, going to do a second set in faux-RSR next month to see how I like that look.

Sho- Nuff! you haven't seen my car b/c It rarely leaves my freakin Garage!

I really like the all black pedals with polished lips and caps. It looks like a single large lug nut ala racing cars.

TerryH - Man, I dont even especially like Targas, but that Aqua one is awesome. By the way, I lived my whole life in Whittier, where are you and do you own that car? Drop me a PM, let's have a chat.

P.S. I think my opinion of Targa is changing. The yellow one from Vegas is great too. Jay, your car looks great, the one with the fuzzy focus aorund it, awesome photo. Love that color too.
