Custom Wheels...What do you think?

Allright so I just custom finished these BBS wheels. Let me know what you guys think...

My options are finish the yellow, all black, or polish the lips...

The yellow will match my yellow calipers once ON the car...I dont know what I will do with centercaps yet...Also, its hard to capture the color. It is speed yellow frome Porsche but it looks a little brighter.

The Black and clear are powder coated.

The yellow pinstripe is OEM Speed Yellow paint...

Paint can be changed easier if i dont like the color, etc...And it didn't require an extra heat cycle...

wow mommy those wheels are SICK!!! finish the other 3 and slap those suckers on already and be done with it...black car with yellow calipers and black wheels with a yellow pinstripe *takes breath* is the best combo for a black wheel/yellow pinstripe IMO

Been seeing more colored lips these days, kept mine polished w/ black centers but saw our boys yellow modena w/ yellow lips and it looked hot.
Go w/ the yellow and live with it for a minute, you can always go back to all black later.

Thanks guys...I will have the wheels finished next week sometime...

Im not in a big hurry anyways since Im still waiting for my spacers to get here...

Im going to finish the yellow and then when i get tired of it, I can go all black or polished...

I'm pretty sure they are RE's, BBS does not have a CH model for 996s or 997s. =(
