My 1989 911 Project (Sorry, non-E30, non-BMW content)

[325ix]

YOu hae great taste in wheels. Great looking car. The bbs will look awesome

[Hatchman]

I beleive I drove past you on I-87N one day in the summer when you were cruising in your m3, which is gorgeous. I was in a red 318is at the time. Do you goto any of the patroon chapter events?

911 looks as clean as your m3 well done.

also where is this heavenly place

I think the red looks perfect on the silver!

INMO Gold doesn't look that great on silver. BBS's in gold is classic on white, red, and black, but not much else.

the red would compliment the pizaz of the RS bumpers and bring just enough flare while not looking too showy.

I think you should do silver if you want to change the wheel color.

wow very nice indeed.

Thanks!

Thanks, but I can't take too much credit. I've just been sticking to the classics. Nothing too risky here.

Thank you!

Unfortunately that wasn't me. I sold the M3 and it was far from gorgeous. Your 318is, however, is looking great from what I've seen in your threads. I should actually take the "Albany" out of my information. I have a garage out there where the cars winter and spend some time since I don't have enough space at home in MA. Most of my summer driving is in MA.

That heavenly place is VSR in Bow, NH.

I have to agree and disagree.

I agree that the red would look good with the silver and would add pizaz, but it is a bit too adventurous for me. If they were green like your M-System, I definitely would build them up and give them a shot. I am a big fan of green.

I disagree about the gold. I know that it is not everybody's taste, but IMO BBS gold looks great with almost all colors.

[Stephen]

Kinda like the red. You should mount them up for a test fitment or do a pchop

[constructor]

Hmm, that's two votes for red.

[Stephen]

Especially if you get the red done up in something that flows well with the tailight color.

I just think its worth a look

[constructor]

You know, I was thinking the same thing as I panned up to contemplate the red.

I have always wanted gold wheels on a silver car, though. I thought about it hard when I had a silver WRX, but chickened out and got silver BBS RK's. I regret that decision. Actually still have those RK's if anyone wants to buy them.

Dont be fooled, the green wheels are just there to overstimulate onlookers and disguise what a shit box the car really is. My own version of Dazzle Camouflage:crazy:


Honestly though, no car can pull off wacky wheels like a porsche, and i think it will be just the right amount of flash. besides they look to be in good condition, it wouldn't hurt to throw some tires on and see if they are too much:crazy:

Eric, How is the E28 coming?


The condition is part of the problem. The red is pealing off in a few areas. The gold shows through.

Also, the RS's are currently 16x7 and 16x8, the same size as the Fuchs. No need to run them in the same size when the Fuchs look so good.

I am upsizing to 17" and would hate to bolt and seal new lips and barrels to the poorly finished centers only to break them down again. Decisions.

I will mock them up in 17" red before I make my final decision.

You can't go wrong, beautiful car. Tough decision.

[Stephen]

If theyre the same. toss the rubber over to the RS and mount it up. if the red is too much, leave it.

Or get a pchop.


Another thing is to leave the sides of the spokes red, but have the top silver/polish.

Very nice. Congrats

I got a complete exhaust in last week, and it should be going in tonight so hopefully i'll be able to give it a test drive without sounding like a tractor!

I didn't notice the gold showing... i just saw the bright red and was like a fly to light.

Thank you. Definitely not easy.

Your last suggestion sounds very cool, unfortunately the red is chipped on the recesses and not the spokes. Nothings easy I guess.

We will see what the spring brings. It is way to cold right now to do anything physically on the car.

Very nice. Congrats

Thanks Alvin. No where near as nice as your dream stable though!

Please post up pics when The E28 is ready. I liked your wheel fitment image.
