Let's walk the walk.
Btw, that wheel color combo looks intriguing, too. What would be actually possible, Fred?

You know what Bran, lets try a set anodized in "gold with a black center" and see how this ends up looking, although I' 100% sure it will end up looking killer. I have fresh dye stocks from mid 2019 and have that true gold finish in. Not-for-sale; just a complementary color-test kit for you Bran, I'll send it to you with your other kit (Man that classic pcar... those back wheels' and fender flares, yummy. Jeez man if I had money I'd hunt for a classic like this one).

Took note of all the names who are in for the next batch guys, thanks! I'll get a few dozen turned during spring and get this out before the good weather kicks in.

ps. here goes the spare parts I kept for you guys, just in case of mishaps. Got plenty of them in all colors, adapters and an industrial amount of those lil crests too. You know the drill, shoot me a PM if you need a replacement or anything

Awesome! That gives me time think whether I want the gunmetal grey or black version (or both!)

Fred,
Count me in for a set of gunmetal gray caps.
Thanks,
Don

Still a tough choice... but I've decided to go for these:

Hey fred - forgot I posted this + car had an accident recently. To clarify, only the outer-facing plate fell off, the clamp with tabs is still on the wheel. Unsure how that happened but would definitely love to get a replacement (just the 1 outer-facing plate is good). Let me know how we should do it!

I realize I may be a little late but if there's any way to squeeze in another order you can put me down as well!

I took a little hiatus but now I'm in the process of really treating my boxster to what she deserves after years of teenage abuse (I know I told you all I wouldn't - I guess it's all part of growing up).

Anyway, it's good to be back! It's great seeing you well and still active in the community!

Just saw this thread that the Fred wheel centers might be coming back. If so, I'm in! Whatever color most closely matches the color of typical aluminum wheels.
