Ok, so I got new wheels for the new bodywork, 18x12 rears (GT2 rears), 18x11 fronts (996TT rears). Problem is I hate the way most silver wheels look so they definitely are not staying that way. None of my old wheels fit, so I no longer have bronze wheels, or my Time Attack style (with Orange lip BSA’s) or any of the other sets. Basically, I’m trying to figure out if I should paint them Time attack style with the orange lip again, with a flat black center, or just ball out with all orange since the car is already ridiculous. Photos as follow, new wheels, Markus’ narrow (stock) body 951 with orange twists (he has a slight polished lip, I’d go all orange), 996 with time attack style (in yellow, I’d go orange), and width of the new bodywork. ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2699&stc=1&d=1189023691](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2699&stc=1&d=1189023691) ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2700&stc=1&d=1189023697](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2700&stc=1&d=1189023697) ![http://pildid.audiclub.ee/yritused/2007_08_04_batteryrace/images/IMG_4138%20copy.jpg](http://pildid.audiclub.ee/yritused/2007_08_04_batteryrace/images/IMG_4138%20copy.jpg) ![http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f394/acemania23/highres2oq0.jpg](http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f394/acemania23/highres2oq0.jpg) ![http://gallery.rennlist.com/albums/albuq21/DSC_1023email.jpg](http://gallery.rennlist.com/albums/albuq21/DSC_1023email.jpg) Width of the new stuff. I hate to pull a “I cant make up my mind” bull shit thread, but I’ve done so many different options with wheels before I’m kinda leaning towards straight orange. Anyway, opinions are welcome.

[quote=“90NA300ZX,post:4,topic:36830"”] i dont like the orange… they made/make a kickass coffee table though, keep it that way… [/quote] I have a BMW e46 wheel (that I put a 4 inch crack in during AKA Rally due to heat and stress) drilled with some spare con-rods and pistons I’m bringing over to continue the trend. Also acquiring some BBS Motorsport Mag wheel parts which will eventually make it onto the car which will serve in the living room until they are complete. 🙂 ---
