The Silver looks great! Are those boxster wheels and will they fit my '85 Carrera if so what spacers are you using?
Thanks, Scott

original = Wow. Nice, nice car. Just beautiful.
black = Looks like a temporary spare or the first, bad step to a rat rod. blue = Are you color blind? Seriously. dark red = Looks like you stole the wheels from a clown car. gun metal = Definitely not awful. light red = pink. Not that there's anything wrong with that. orange = You couldn't afford a GT3?

I say leave it as is. At least in the photoshop pics the other colors look either dirty or just rediculous. As is looks sweet. I'm all for customizing too but i think it looks best as is.
just my opinion- maybe the black wheels with fat 997 colored crest center caps would have the pop needed to make the black work?!

I get the feeling you're dying for a change, so I'll vote gunmetal.

Normally don't like the black look, but would vote black in this case, hides the wheels the most so it doesn't look like it's wearing wheels stolen from a Boxster or some other water cooled, low offset wheel late model car.

ok original it is.
Yes, they come from my 04 Boxster S. I'm using 35mm rear and 32mm in front.

Any color except black. Black looks like someone put 4 spare tire rims on their car. Actually either leave them silver or go with the gun metal grey.

I voted orange but black and gunmetal are great too. You have the luxury of most any color looking good with silver. I would go with a color because you can. Don't listen to the masses. You obviously want something that stands out, anti-status quo. Orange then fire engine red are my picks.
