I had the wheels wrapped, not painted, so that they can easily be undone if needed...

Nice..... you could of gone any color and that car would still be unbelievable to me....

[ant7]

Sorry, not for me, but everyone to their own I guess!

[Geronimo '74]

Not mad, envious maybe, but not mad..

Wait, that isn't a '72 with a 959 body kit, is it? That would make some hearts bleed and boil, for sure..

(J/K, I know it isn't)

[ryans65]

looks rad but then again it's a dang 959!!

And ya gotta like a guy that lets his 4 legged friend ride along, especially in the most super of super cars.

Wayne, does it really leak that much oil? (Pan in the second-to-last photo).

Hey, it is just a car, your car. Do to it whatever you want. Yea, it is a rare and kinda expensive car, but still, just a car. Drive it and enjoy it.

Not commenting as a purist (heck, it's your car - you can and will do what you want) but from an aesthetic "industrial design" point of view, I believe the silver rims show the overall form and "shape lines" of the car better.

The all black may be more of the current style, but all black sometimes comes across as a less defined "black blob" while breaking up the black with the silver (or other tasteful contrasting color) wheels when one has an all-black car allows the body forms to be better seen and appreciated.

Just IMHO (and many years of product design experience).

BTW, non-black cars don't have this issue to the same extent because the black tires themselves provide some contrast. (Come to think of it, one could use colored tires I suppose....)

100% better! Is that the top of the ride height system? looks high.

[914Ravi911]

I think it looks great.

Ha! Judging by the 101 octane, I'm guessing you've also ditched the stock boost pressure. Car looks great! #Unstock rules

It’s your car so you can do whatever you want. I think it looks great and changes things up a little. As you said it’s totally reversible.

Yes - wheel wrap. Not super cheap ($300 per wheel). I tried doing it myself but that ended up being a, well, let's say, not a good thing. Took it to the professionals after that.
