Fuchs style wheels on Boxster

[Slate 01]

You took some hideous wheels, I have always detested those things, and turned them into something acceptable. My personal recommendation would be to buy some new (or used) wheels. Plastidip will only last so long, yeah you can keep redoing them but damn you are driving a Porsche not some beater hyundai.

Excellent start but far from being completed if you ask me

harsh I know loll

Obviously you've seen this before but that's what Porsche Studio did to revive the style. Or in case you didn't know (that'd be kinda funny). Given your talent, clearly you can do better than them. I'd say finish them up with the barrel and trim painted black and voila - new branded life to the twists!

Just can't fail, worth the extra paint:

Those are sweet! I'll have to see if I have the required talent to tape and paint the barrel and trim...I was debating this earlier, trying to plan a stategy. Lots of curvy concave surfaces to mask on the twists :chicken:

That's the look I was going for on my old set of Cayman S replica wheels. I couldn't figure a way to mask the black line near the barrel so I left if off.

I liked the way this thread was going and was inspired to try my hand. I grew up loving the fuchs alloys of the 80s and was ecstatic that my 944 had them. I decided to try modifying my boxster rims to resemble the fuchs. This was a quick freehand mock up using tape and plasti-dip my daughter and I did yesterday.

My first thought was to flas for my taste. The more I looked at them, the more I liked

Wow!! That looks so much better! I never liked those wheels. But you've given them a new look. Great job!
