Gloss/Matte Black or Gunmetal Forgestar F14'S?
 
I am slated to recieve my set of Forgestar F14's mid-June through CampioniShop. I ordered a pair of 18's in 8.5F and 10R. Previously, and currently, my vehicle was all black. I recently purchased a set of litronics and am contemplating two options; 1) all red tail lights, clear side markers, and gun metal wheels 2) black wheels (either in matte or gloss) and all black lights (which is my current setup) 3: black wheels (either in matte or gloss), clear side markers, and all red tail lights. I am including my most recent photograph in its present state. All input is greatly appreciated.

Also, I am including a photoshopped version of my vehicle with all red tail lights that a fella on the 986 forums was kind enough to complete for me.

This is a temporary setup until I pull a trigger on a set of Champion RG5's at the end of the year. For the price point of the Forgestar's, it is hard not to pass up. Again, thank you!

Greatly appreciated the kind words. She is a work in progress! The tail lights and side markers arrive tomorrow, and the film on Monday.


Looks sweet
Thank you, sir.

I prefer color and contrast, so I'd go with option 1

1. Too much black makes it look like you're trying too hard.

As much as I hate to admit it, you sir, are correct. The stealth look was fun while it lasted, but come mid-June I will be a happier man. Thank you for your input.


Looking good.
Many a thanks, buddy.

Consider it done. Your input is appreciated.

UPDATE

Inlcuded are two photographs of the vehicle with clear side markers, and all red tail lights. I am no longer purchasing a set of Forgestar F14's and I have I decided on a set of Champion RG5's within the next month or two.

That's a nice looking Porsche you have there! :D

It's sad to see that you're not going with the Forgestar F14 wheels as they're a great wheel for the price point! Also, Forgestar received a little over 2,000 barrels and within a couple of weeks, the lead times from start to finish are going to be down to 4 weeks tops!

18" Forgestar F14 wheels weigh in at around 17.xx lbs per wheel. They all have revised load ratings certified by JWL / VIA to be at 1,520 lbs per corner. They're lightweight, strong, and are able to be customized!

I don't know any other wheel choice out there that delivers all that at a price point under $1,400!!!

Plus, they look amazing on the mid-engined Porsches for some reason!
