I love it even w/o the polished lip, however the car definately looks pink in the first pic. But I know it's gonna look hot no matter.

it's definetly a tough call. the second pic looks money. the 1st pic looks horrible. i think u need a polished or chrome lip to add some class to the wheels. with that color car, i would have put some flashy chrome wheels on. you could probably have those techs chromed for $500. Dan.

Black Wheels
I no longer have the stock TT wheels, they are my track wheels now days.

I actually put all black cargraphics with an anodized black lip!

I think it looks insane, but of course I do. I will post pictures tomorrow.

What I like about the Red on Black wheels, is two things. First it looks like the porsches from yester year, thats how they always looked. Second, it makes the car look pissed off. A lot of people do chrome and red, I just think its to flashy.

I would forget the polished lip personally, I think it looks insane! Good work!

Really ugly ... you asked for an honest answer!

I definitely agree that a polished lip will make it much better... or perhaps more conventional. Or perhaps keep the black rims, but find some white sidewall tires ... now that would be unique! Or perhaps some gold anodized lip would be different and kinda conventional...

Seems fast, mean and functional without the flash. Low key. Reminds me of a really fast old racing Corvette or something like that.

black wheels look better on silver and black cars BUT it still looks good on your car. You should get the one Arling told you.

It will look much better with a Techart or Gt2 body kit. Just my 2 cents.

my honest opinion it looks ugly, if the lip was red and the spokes were black teh car would look a bit okay...

i hope you dont get offended, just stating my honest opinion
