colour does not slow you down.

edit: but to may taste, I'd refinish those Fuchs to black petal... chromed/polished Fuchs is so 80s... ;-)

Haters gona hate!!!

What he said. The wheels are the only brightwork on the car. They look out of place.
Paint them red and go full 80's

Nothing wrong with a red fan either.

Screw the haters. If it works for you it works for you. I have modified much of my car to my taste and if others don't like it, tough toenails.

Better red than dead.

You mean like the whole car design (aka - a 911 looks about as dated as anything could be).


ssinit, Targuuuus suck much azz and all that , butt much respect to you for having the scrote to mod it the way you want to - very refreshing attitude to see compared to the "keep it stock", limp Richard mentality.

IMO guards red is THE quintessential 80s porsche color. Kinda sad they paint most new ones really boring colors. Great looking car!!!

Like the car, not a fan of polished Fuchs-ever. Take those babies back to the factory finish and the value of the car climbs and more importantly, it looks right. Nice car though.
