No kidding? I didn't know that. Sweet.
Oh, and the black wheels look pimp. I bet the car looks good even with the top up. The black and black.

I love the Black wheels look
Did you paint those wheels yourself? I'm looking to buy some black wheels if I don't end up selling my Boxster S.

I'll have to admit, I was not the biggest fan of lace look wheels (not just yours but in general), but those look frickin awesome. Dj, I think you were the one that photoshopped my 17" boxster rims black for me so I could see what it would look like on my seal grey. I am definitely doing mine now. What kind of paint did you use? BTW, are those 17" or 18" rims. I am just a little worried that the black will make the wheels/rims appear smaller than the current silver.

dj-
really like it. can't wait to see the tires shined once the paint is fully cured. definitely will look better the dull tires and understand your patience to wait for the full cure.
makes your 17's looks like 18's!
I'm now wondering how my 18 turbo twists would look in black on seal gray/black car???

I would paint the lip or edge of the wheel silver to break up the black of the tire and wheel. It will play well with your painted roll bars and make any curbing that might come your way in the future easier to repair, all you'll need is a can of duplicolor body filler and Wurth Silver. All German cast alloy wheels are made from the same paint code or very similar. I might paint the background of the center caps silver as well.
Try doing it with photoshop.
p.s.
dress those tires! I've been using the poorboys trim spray, works great on the windshield trim, bumperrettes and the plastic molding between the top and the windows... doesn't run in the rain...

Not sure
The red ring would be even better, call me finiky but I dont car for the color combo with that color car......something is missing but I cant put my finger on it...
Dont get me wrong, I not saying you have an ugly car, In fact I think that green is very unique..
There is just something missing.....A wing, flare, a piece of chrome...something..
Sorry not much input, just wanted to see if anyone else could help figure out what I though was missing...
I will shut up now...

I'm not a big fan the black rims. Reminds me of a spare tire. All that matters dj is your happy with it.
