Very nice, are those custom 18's or 17's?

Porsche Crest Thanks,

Speedracer,

Thanks for the compliment on the wheels. They are custom built 17". I feel the 18" wheels do not show enough side wall on the tires. That little extra bit of side wall gives it a meatier look vs the low profile of 18's.

Paul

I'm with the stock look. Resto by Harvey. He said his wife handpainted the centers.

one of my 7" and 8"s. Had them beedblasted and they're now gone to be polished. I don't know how the technique is called ( in German it is called Hochglans Verdichtung) It is supposed to give a fully polished look (inside and out) but a lot more corrosion ressistant and maintenace free because of the "closed surface".

After pics soon to follow

Factory 'Silver Flake' finish, I didn't like it when I first bought the car but it grew on me, it's also in almost perfect condition, too good to paint over.

I am not trying to be boastful or egocentric by posting my photos so often, but here is a reference shot:

While we're on the topic of wide Fuchs, have you guys noticed that many manufacturers are starting to discontinue sizes like 245/45/ZR 16? I have.
