Any thoughts on stripping the wheel? They would match the calipers

I like the plain silver. If they were black I would stripe it to break out the color.

if you decide to pinstripe, i would use the oem porsche wheel decals or 1/2" pin striping tape. it's what i used on my 350z. if you get tired of it, you can take it off.

Seriously though, very nice looking wheels but unfortunately I just replaced my OEM wheels last year so I'm out.

seems to have a touch of lilac in it, reminds me of a BMW color from early 2000's..................................want...... .............................

I am far to cheap to spend 239.00 on tape. But thanks for the info. I looked tapeworks and will cost less than 100.00

Now that I can see it with a stripe on the car I definitely do not like it
