I'm thinking about getting new wheels and like they way they look but don't want be like one of the guys that you see now and then still stuck with spinners!
What do you guys think?

I bought a set of used Volk TE37 Time Attack, they are Black with a thin Red Lip. I wasn't big on them at first, but I didn't care as they were for the track.
I have a lot of people commenting on how great they look, I guess that will hold true until next year when something else looks cool. These can always be repainted to what ever colour I want. Here are a few pictures from a recent track day that show the red lip.

they do look pretty cool on your car! I hear that sometimes they are not painted on but actually applied with tape.

These are painted, the paint is chipping away in a few places when I had the tires swapped to the new ones. I am sure that I will get them repainted at one point, for now I will just abuse them on the track.

Yes, it handles really well. I really like the Bilstein Damptronics and H&R Sway Bars. The wheels alignment is Porsche ROW Track settings from the factory. Tires wear evenly on both street and track.

Thanks, you need to come to Seattle and do a few track days with Kitch. They have a great photographer that sells you these pictures, your RS with your slicks will love the track!

Ed, the time attacks look great!
I used vinyl tape on my wheels because I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. Has held up great so far and doesn't look half bad.

I have done mine many times and I always use "pinstripe tape" that I get from the local auto paint store. The roll cost me $12.00 fours years ago and I have repainted the wheels three times and still have most of the roll left.
