Thanks again Ray... car is coming together. I'll be ordering a rear diffuser soon! The GT3 front bumper grille may take awhile as I gain the courage to have someone cut into my turbo! Going to get a nice set of aggressive light weight rims that match the car as well.

Sorry, just Iphone for now...

Thanks! Yeah, I already had the Fuch's for a while... but got tired of the classic design. Kinda wish I had them now. haha

I'm leaning towards Tech1's, but now in a graphite/black(ish) finish. We'll see... I'll look around a bit.

I love the tech 1's... that gunmetal color is spectacular.
If you do go that way, I think the black stickers may clash with the wheels on the sides...

Anyway, love the color combo and the carbon accents it is very nicely executed.

Agreed... so may have to go gloss black rims... we'll see. The cool thing about stickers is that... well, they're stickers...they can come off.

I just don't like how rim detail gets lost on all black rims. I've had a few and the eye just has a hard time picking out the spokes/etc that make a rim look cool. I'm sure I'll change my mind a few dozen times before I pull the trigger.

You are correct. Details become a bit blurry. If they are glossy, perhaps the light reflects more... However that does not show on pictures very well, so you cant tell by looking at just pictures...

There is a pic of a red car on glossy p40's at another post, middle of the page herel middle of the page. Credit to Vic55 for posting it. Thanks

Awesome! Good choice on the mods. I agree with Nick, black wheels are now a must.

Ray's the man though!

Yeah... now do I stick with 19 or do the unthinkable and get 20's? My 19's right now look tiny with the drop, even with the 5mm spacers. I at least need to go wider or something...

Time to research... I never really thought I'd consider 20's, but I've seen a few pics lately and the cars look nice.

If you're not overly concerned with some of the negatives of going with the 20s (higher weight and somewhat harsher ride) I would rock them for the looks. They'd definitely look great on your car. 20 inch HRE P40S's would look in satin black would look awesome!

Great looking car. Can't wait to see the next mods. I agree with you about not being able to see details on a black wheel (except those wheels with "big" features - e.g., Fuchs or Panasports).

The outside color of this car is amazing... Love it!!! Personally I think a set of Brushed wheels with black windows would look really good. Like the Vossen CV2!!!

the black rocker protection is a nice retro touch. Have you thought about maybe doing the newer Fuchs wheels?
