This picture is pre wing, but Kirby (thank you Kirby!) photoshop'd the Kinesis K18's on my car...I am liking the look. What do you guys think?

I actually like the 18" Carrera wheels so much, I wouldn't consider replacing them, but that's just me!

I do like your house, though...

Those look great Robyn. I would go with the K18R though. I saw a speed yellow turbo with the anodized K18R's and it was stunning. Go for it!

why don't you try to look at the HREs? Shank has a nice set I like his 5spokes anodized black, maybe you can do the same with silver finish?

Those are nice, but what about "real" GT3 wheels...

I am getting the K18's for an amazing price....one of those hard to pass up prices. I like the aggressive look (ghettolicious!) without going to black...which I am tossing around. I think they will look good.

Thanks for all the imput guys, I really appreciate it.

Robyn, what i like most about the wheels is that they're different than all the rest, and like Darren said, very "gt3-ish". while i think the car would look much more "mean" with the spokes in "black," i would be hesitant to do it at first. i say pull the trigger on these bad babies and see how they fit ya!! LOVE THE LOOK.

regards

Robyn also forgot to mention that her car is lowered in the picture. It's lowered with the same suspension I have PS6. That's Photoshop 6!

original GT3 wheels look pretty hot. the only rims on a porsche i would change would be the sport design I. so ugly.

Porsche does a good job in choosing rims for their cars.
