Ok, this better be good? Sounds shinny to me but it's worth looking at.

This is exactly what Mike Burroughs/HRE and Alex suggest. I have have seen a few wearing this and will look into it. If you have any photos please post.

Thanks

brushed silver or light grey for the centers - don't go dark IMO. Keep the outers polished.

Either full matte black with white pinstripe or matte black spokes with gloss black lip.

Thinking more about the matte fo-sure and with or without the pinstripe. My car has Sharky's ZKERMIT RS wheels on it right now at and looks pretty good aside from the rear wheel offset.

My wheels are being shipped too HRE today so I gotta figure this out!!!

Offsets are too aggressive? I thought the RS and 997TT fit the same rear wheels.

Keep the outers polished and go for a matte gray for the center.

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't mind seeing some color added.... that is if you are considering something against the grain... maybe a lil cobalt blue thrown in there..... pinstripe, or barrel color.... just to mix it up.

I'm prety sure the RS uses a 5mm spacer.

I agree with all black with a white pinstripe... That'd be very clean.

I know what your saying, I just need a change from this theme. The current setup is almost as you describe now.

I have to keep telling myself this is only wheels and I can change the theme later if needed

What about matte black lip with white spokes and black bolts... I think that would get your wheels to pop because with the white car and your fatty lips, you kind of lose the detail of the wheels.... Maybe matte white spokes too... Also the white would make your wheels look bigger since you're running 18's... just my 2cents
