Default wheels

Skip ... I hear ya buddy
So the one thing I've noticed with the Porsche crowd is that they are more purist that any other group I've seen. So when Nathan wanted to build a Hotrod 3.0 Carrera, well that includes those exact wheels with that finish and that rubber. I actually like the look a lot.

Now that said ... I may purchase a 2nd set of 17's and have them coated to get this look

Thoughts ??

Wow...they did a great job on the build and vid.



Steve,

On the wheels, I prefer the look in the pic,




or dark centers, but its nice to be able to have the ability to really change the look like what you’re thinking of.

Ryan, RideTech did that with their second gen camaro build. Orange on one side and a dark gray? wheels on the other.

Steve, Thanks for the info. I thought that box might be for the heater since these cars are or were air cooled, but I'm just not familiar with them at this level. I love seeing them, especially the modified ones. I definitely prefer the larger wheels. I currently have two sets of wheels for the BMW so I certainly couldn't fault you for getting two sets for your car. Might be a good idea depending on the crowd you're hanging out with at the time. We wear event appropriate clothing don't we? Might as well make sure the car has event appropriate wheels, too!

Default 2 sets

Morning guys ... Skip yes Nathan does incredible work. Before sending him the deposit I did my due diligence and everyone said the same thing, Nathan does amazing work and a he's true car guy.

So I've pretty much decided that it would be great to have 2 sets of wheels, originals and a more 'modern' set that sets the car/orange off a little more ...

Close to our interior and same seats
