looks nice...just a major PITA keeping clean. I had the full polish as well and ended up getting the centers powdercoated. It's much better in terms of maintenance...just which I had a clearcoated lip and then I wouldnt have to switch to my stockers during winter.

You have a good looking car that's relatively stock. I like that you painted the front lip body color (a must).
The wheels I don't like. Polished wheels and chrome wheels have no business on an import car. HREs have no business on a Porsche. No racing heritage. No motorsports presence. All about vanity and low on function as they're heavy and not as strong as your comparable Fikse/Kinesis wheels who do spend a lot of time at the tracks.
If it's a Corvette or Mustang, I could let the gleaming metal slide given America's love for chrome, but not a 911.
If I had your car, I'd pair it up with a set of 19" OZ Superleggera IIIs or Ruf's new modular wheels. BBSs would do your car up just fine as well. I'd also consider going custom through Fikse and Kinesis. Centers could range from painted silver to brushed aluminum to anodized to gunmetal to black.
Leave the mirror shine for the SUVs and big bodied sedans.

Those wheels look great!.
However chrome finish does not belong on a car of that caliber.,
Blah!!!!!!!!! Get rid of the chrome and maybe go with a anthracite
or anaodized center...
But hey thats just my 02. cents..
