White Turbo with Textured Black 20" HRE P43..

Dear 6speeders,

Finally, wheels are on after a long wait for michelin ps2 325 rear.. Been driving for 2 weeks and receiving mixed reviews on the combination so far. . somehow or rather, i feel that something is missing.. it looks great when standing beside the car.. but at some angles, it looks weird.. Seems that the rear spoiler is a tad too small now, it looks better when elevated.. And the rear bumper looks out of shape.. I think its bcos of the rear black lip..

Im thinking of getting GT2 rockers (white), Techart rear diffusor but leaving the front lip unchanged (bound to scrape everynow and then).. And a new rear wing (misha, gt2, werks1)..

What you guys think? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks..
Ron

Fabulous! I have a car coming in a few months and I am going with a very similar (but not identical) look.

I think they look good, the only odd part about them is that with the textured black it is hard to tell where the wheel ends and the tire begins...

Totally awesome setup. The black/white combo is a real visual statement.
Matte black is the way to go.

Wheels look fantastic. I would go for the GT2 sides, with Techart type I, or Type II rear diffusor. and maybe the Type I front also.

PM me for special 6Speed Pricing
