Tom - The wheels give your car a nice retro look. Hope you have many enjoyable miles with them.

The first few photos of your car in the rain shows some fitment issues with the side panels of your convertible top. You might want to get it checked out.

I saw that too and made me wonder. It seems that there is either a fitment issue or the car is sitting on really uneven pavement, and the wet fabric hood is making creases that shouldnt be there.

Good eye Mark! Tom, do you see the point?

Mark & Nick,

I'll check it out when I get downstairs as that picture is on our home in North Jersey & the driveway is very slanted towards the street.....like on a small hill.....I can't check the oil there it's so steep.

I'm parked on flat ground here so I'll check it out.....you're saying the top is pulling...right???

OK.......I looked at it last night on level ground and I couldn't see what I saw in those pics.....no pulls or wrinkles! Now if I could only say the same!

tommyv,
I like your attitude about the replies from those who are not feeling the wheels. It really is all about what you like.
I'm not feeling them either but I give you hugh props for your attitude. You'll definitely have some exclusivity there....not many will buy these.

Enjoy!

Joe my friend....what a pleasure to hear from you.......and thanks for the kind words!

I continue to marvel every day at the miracle that is my Porsche. The artists that are Martino's Auto Concepts saved my car and allowed me to enjoy her again like she was new. Hard to say thanks for that....it just doesn't seem adequate.

I'm going to take a ride out to see you some Thursday afternoon this summer with a buddy and enjoy the "street scene" Debbie described to me and I can't wait to see you and Jon again.

I recommend you to everyone and even my Porsche mechanic is awestruck by the thoroughness of the repair and the artistry of the people. Thank you again and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon.

All the best,

Tom

Props for being retro and unique. I think they look great.

The color combo actually works, it's called the Tetradic scheme in color design principles. See how the blue exterior of the car complements the bronze wheels and orange interior.
