I know there are awesome experts on Photoshop here somewhere and I'm seriously considering the HRE 501 wheels shown on the thread Vintage HRE Wheels on this page.......can you help me get an idea what they look like on my car?

Thanks in advance.

If you want someone to give it a try you should add a photo of your car from the side view, flat.

 

Thanks........I didn't know. Here are a few:

 

my crude attempt

 

Not my cup-o-tea I am afraid... I prefer your current wheel, it is more proportionally correct for your car which, BTW is AWESOME looking...
My personal preference would be a rim whereby the spokes are more in the traditional manner about halfway inside the rim, not too skinny looking but open to show a nicely painted rotor!!

 

Tonka,

How generous!!!! Not a crude attempt at all!! Beautiful!

Thank you so much!!

Tom

 

I guess you'd pick a different wheel. I appreciate your feedback though....thanks for taking the time to let me know.

I think it's pretty cool.

Anyone else have a point of view...................... i'd love to hear it!

Agree. I think your stock wheels are one of the best looking Porsche wheels. The wheels you are thinking of getting hide all of the "bling": Red calipers, drilled rotors, and the exposed depth of the wheel.

 

The wheels depicted will be PIA to clean. Too many small openings and a polished lip that will become dull and need a lot of elbow grease. I much prefer your stock wheels.

 

While wheel looks are personal preference........these wheels are a little too old looking for the modern car,just my $.02.Have you considered something similar but more modern......like DPE S-20's?
Here are pics of them in one of my albums....

BUT IF that is the wheel your heart is set on (the ones posted).......by all means get them! IMO,wheels are the simplest way of making your car a little more individual..
