Different fuch colour options for a black 3.2
 
Hi - going to moving from cup 1 wheels to fuchs on my black 3.2, and really fancy something a bit different colour wise for the centres. Possibly gold.

Please post up your different fuch colour combos on black 911s please :)

Thanks!

A flat metalic silver centers would look very Germanic.

No picture, but I recall seeing a black SC/Carrera once with graphite centers. Was a pretty good look, IMO.

I too have black centered Fuchs, but as you can see the detail design of the Fuchs is lost. My favorite finish is the RSR rough anodized with polished lip that Harvey Weidman does so well. Red or Gold look nice if you have matching logos. Otherwise just like on the 73's petals anodized and black background. All of the above highlight the classic design.

One option is to go with a classic pattern with anodized paddles and color background. I will look for some pics.

These were black and you could not see the details.

I strip them and did a light spray of Dupli-Color Silver Engine Enamel.

Next step is to convince the wife to do some black highlite to match the Stem Valve Cap :)

I took an old center cap and sanded it to repaint, but I ended up with this, which I liked. It's a negative of your caps, but nice anyway.

Not a 3.2 but partial to glossy black on black,http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1341962737.jpg
