Bucking The Crowd

Do what you want to do. I get compliments on my wheels all the time. Not that there are tons of Porsches in Omaha, but I like to be different. If you like them, what difference does it make what others think?

It's your car, do as you wish. I don't think chrome is for performance sport cars.

LOL yeah but maybe just ghost the front....

seriously I have 18" Carreras on mine which I like as is but chrome is cool...

I haven't been impressed with the paint quality on the Porsche's I've seen and wonder why we don't see more custom paint out there.
