PBH - can you either post more pics of yours, or email them to me (shane@scwdp.com)? What color did you use on yours?

I put the Fuchs back on this morning before going to work (about 4am... neighbors probably think I am nuts!). Funny sidenote. As I am putting the RF wheel on, the RR wheel comes rolling out of the garage, right towards me. I am thinking [with Twilight Zone theme music playing in the background] Okie dokie....:eek:

Then I finish up go upstairs to shower and my wife says, was I dremaing or did we just have an earthquake? I said "you must be dreaming"... Then I get in the car on the way to work and they are talking about the 5.4 quake in Illinois. A lot of other people felt here also. I had to call my wife and say, "I am sorry... you are not psycho afterall."

And then I thought about my mysterious rolling wheel again... not so mysterious now...:D

My wife has yet to suggest that the earth moved. And I won't hold my breath waiting for her to do so.

I wil email asap.

Felt the quake up here in the Chicago 'burbs this morning. But no mysterious Fuchs rolling around.

Didn't feel a thing. What time was it? I heard a few people talking about it. Oh well, here comes the apocalypse........

I say the gold looks no good too. Paint 'em black or forget about them. Or leave them as is for track wheels.

However, I had my 3-piece BBSs disassembled and painted the centers dark metallic gray. Probably too much for a lighter colored car.
Here's Tech's wheels today.

PS, I think the gold looks fine.

I went from Gold to Silver and really like how they came out.

does anyone know if porsche fuchs type centercaps will fit these wheels, like mine and the last poster. It seems like I have seen some before somewhere.

RichF 04-18-2008 03:40 PM

you dont need center caps, thats just one more thing you have to add to the list of things to take off when you go on the track or back roads.

Loose the BBS wheels. IMHO they just don't look right. Flat black at the track maybe, but gold......naaaaa.
