Ok, I have listened to advice on this board in the past and am glad I did. I did end up removing all the decals from my 911 and am going with 1 more change. I've decided I do want to go with black wheels on my 911. I do not want any polished lips oranything though. I am debating now Matte black or 90% Gloss black.
If someone can come up with the images on my 911 that would give me what I need to make this decision. I will also soon be getting all of the tint scraped, as I just think it looks cleaner with no tint. No matter what anyone says though, I'm keeping the fog lights!!! :-) ![]() |

I'd go with gloss, especially if you're not polishing the rims.

If you are planning to do the work on the rims shown in the picture, you might want to consider black chrome. I built a custom chopper a few years ago, and had the rims and other metal pieces plated in black chrome. It's a great look, check it out...

I heard that plating Fuchs is a bad idea.

I like that black chrome! Is that different than powdercoating?

I used Rustoleum semigloss black on my Fuchs....Its not quite as glossy as gloss black but looks a lot better than satin or matte finish in my worthless opinion. I dont have any pictures on this computers to share....but I have posted pictures of them before....you might be able to search

Gulf, thanks! now I'm not sure if I like it, I am definitely removing the window tint, maybethat will be the difference? Maybe I shouyld go the other way and just get my wheels polished more of an aluminum shiny colour?

IMO. Regardless of the color scheme you decide... you should lower the car some.
