They look really good IMO, but I wonder if you were expecting the wheels to look like the Euromeister which resemble the 16 inch Fuch. The ones shown are the Rota/Linea Corsa wheels and when you see them with the black centers they look pretty good. I have always said that the Rotas back wheels were made after the 9x 15 Fuchs which do have the lip with another step into the petals. Either way I'm sure that a lot of Pelicans would take them off your hands if you decide to get rid of them! I personally would keep them just paint the petals in black and polish the lips, you may change your mind.

They look good. Take some eye adjusting but they fit well. The color is what I dont like about them. Seems like the petals are not painted correctly or its just a bad angle in the pic. Classic fuchs polish or all silver would look good. Good Luck!

Remove the black center caps, or paint them. Throws it all off. (Edit- good you did)

You could also put long studs on with open steel lug nuts.
They will grow on you. The advantage of modern 17 tires will be worth it.

I like the 16s better as far as the pedals look. The 17 pedals look like they narrow down too much a the cap and are too wide at the rim, but I suppose that's what they look like when you go to 17s. But as others have said, it looks nice both ways

I like the look of the long studs, actually though about doing that a whlile ago- I thought they would be a pain to swap out though... any links to studs to buy? are they as simple as just press out press in or is their a trick to them?

my 1 cent: give the rake look at the back, its lacking that stance.
its all it needs. The right stance will make any Porsche look that good

Don't listen to everyone here as your car looks horrible and henceforth you should sell it immediately, to me !
 Obviously I'm joking, your car looks bleedin lovely, wouldn't change a thing at this point. |

here are the wheels with some plastidip on them to see what I like- what do you guys think?
   heres a pic online of red wheels, if anyone has any photo shop skill I would love to see what my car would look like with red fuchs- I think it would look cool with the roll bar.

A matte silver would look great IMHO - I think the tire sizes look great with the height BTW
I like the all matte black actually, though it makes the whole car look a bit more rough around the edges. A silver would be a cleaner/more finished type of look. Either is cool, personal preference of course |
