djomlas, thanks for the PS effort, love the clear tail lights and smarkers (next mods) Wheel lip in the body color might help

turbo23dog, jwilson95, I tend to agree, I do believe the wheels are lost, color wheel caps might help to break it up

LoveBunny, agreed, black wheels probably belong on a darker car, however, the PS shows with a black top and clear markers, it does bring it together

Like I mentioned, fresh rubber arrives this week which will be mounted on the silver 18's. These are going back on.

Up in the air whether to keep or sell 'em now. Is anyone interested? PM me if you are.

Thanks for the comments

I replaced the black wheel caps with color'd crests. I think it gives my car an improved look over the straight black. What do you think? Also, I learned that that the low point of the crest is suppose to point directly at the valve stem. Who knew Porsche would have such specifics about the wheel caps.

Have you thought about leaving a standard crest unpainted while painting around it black? This does break up the black a bit. Here is a pic of mine.

that is a step in the wrong direction.

I think the color crest center caps (in person) look much better
than the straight black, however, I'm not impressed with the
overall look of black rims on my seal gray Boxster. Replacing
tomorrow with fresh rubber on my aftermarkets.

With that in mind, is anyone familiar with Antyre tires?
I purchased 4 for less $88 bucks a piece including shipping.
Antye is owned by a Chinese company, however, the tires
are manufactured in the U.K.

Link to the tires

They sound cheap, however, I got a REALLY good deal on them.
Similar load and ratings of a tire 2 to even 3 times as expensive.

Sounds like it's a Chinese company and they're made in China. More info here:
