Holy moley! I never would have thought of that, but wow. Bitter with red would be spectacular.

Chicken mole brown?

LOM,
To add to the build discussion of your RSR may I suggest the proper wheel/offset combo.
I was looking at BAT this morning and there is a very nice RSR tribute for sale. But the look is just a little off. Other than the fit of the front valance I think the wheels and backspacing are killing the look. 15" wheels are a must IMO.

BAT Now with 16"




Backdate with 15"

I don't think it's the wheel size that's the issue, I think the black centers look wrong. An early car MUST have silver petals.

OH BOY - I have 17" Fikse in boxes in the basement awaiting installation. The width/offset were built to compliment the wide body (bought them as that was what Singer was using). I guess my Frankenstein is just that...red seats, 17" wheels, Mode Intercooler for 2, Big Reds and RS suspension! The more I think of it, the more I like GreyBlack/Red seats.

Bottom car looks worlds better in IMO.

Your Fiske wheels will look like this.
I waited a while for mine. Did something different with the RSR finish. These are 17x9 & 11

Those really look cool, and nice to see someone with the ballz to stray from the wheel norm, finish wise.

Damn, those deep dish rears (not like THAT) look badass!

Fikse makes a good product

I'm building a 914 around some green face gauges. :<)
Can't wait to see the car in person.

Wheels can transform a car...

love the last Fikse pics - they do look awesome when they fit right and are fresh!
