Its a good thing that wasn't posted in for sale section because it would have been in my garage right now.

What a beautiful car. I would think twice before coating the wheels. Looks great as is.

Congrats.

Honestly, I would keep them as they are...they look great. I really think the black face fad will pass, but silver faced wheels will remain a classic.

Gunmetal would look great, though. A Seal Grey faced wheel would set the car off for sure, but I really think you should leave them as-is...just my $0.02...

Good luck with the car, bro!!

Hi... White is the next best color to red . I could not find one in white when I was looking. Good luck with your new turbo! When it feels like it needs some TLC give us a call or stop by and see the shop. I am here on saturday. We are also building an 996 TT motor that is still mostly a part. Hope to see you, Tim

I'd thought about repainting the whole car white for a while but then gave up on the idea, you are making me revisit this idea again. Hit me up when you're going for a drive, then again you might make my car feel inferior lol. Congratz again.

Thanks Lee! I'll do that. Shoot me your cell via PM and we'll take a ride one of these days!

Adam, thanks for the advise...I do think right now I'm going to leave the wheels as is. But gunmetal would be pretty hot! We'll see, I'm not in a rush. One rim has some rash, so I'll just have that fixed. The other 3 are in great shape with no rash.

On another note, I got pulled over for the first time today. Second time driving it since registering it. Was rushing to get somewhere. Got tagged for speeding, illegal tint and no front plate. She let me go with just the tint violation (thank god for my NYC PBA card!)
