Supersport Mike Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 As most of you know that i have a 911 supersport, not the best in the world but its 4 wheels and it goes , the wheels are colour coded to car (white) a bit girley , do you think they would look better black. As there was a white supersport at Waddeson Manor with black wheels Answers on a postcard please Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 If it were me I'd paint them black myself and see how it looks, if you don't like it you can always strip them and start again with a different colour. I did my centres silver/grey against my dark blue car it makes a difference, but you never can tell until you do it. If you do it yourself and you don't like the look at worst it'll have cost you £20-30 in painty stuff and a few hours of your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rich s Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'd definately do away with the white Mike. That was the really girly thing about my car, but I resisted as it was all so authentic and precious, which was one reason it had to go! I'd try straight black to kick off with.

Nige Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thats true Do you use Promax for your servicing and repairs Mike Do as much of the repairs and servicing myself, its part of the ownership experience for me. I've farmed out some electrical jobs and exhaust stud repairs. I've no experience of Promax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strosek34 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 What about red centres !!, that always looks good on the white Clubsports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 red sounds good, but would need some other red details/decals elsewhere to complete the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Mike - white on white looks awesome so leave it. But as I've got a green interior best not trust my taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckschleuderer Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 It's completely a personal choice thing....I actually quite like the white look as well, but then I'm stuck in the 80's in any case. With the current 80's revival you might get even more approving nods (not that it really matters what other people think). Mine were original body coloured as well (Baltic Blue) but a long time ago before I got the car. I inherited the car with Gloss black centres, but have just changed them to Black Satin Gloss (i.e. almost matt) which I'm loving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndglynn Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I would keep the white, mask off the petals like Tim's and black the rest like RSR, so RSR but with white petals. Different and v cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bernau Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Leave them white or go silver with silver stripes or gold with gold stripes. Best I could find - White and black is a little same old, no? But still nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Remember this: From this thread: Red wheels white car thread Orange is the way forward - although I did do some viper green ones and that looked the nuts. If I remember I'll get them off the office mac and post them up tomorrow (unless Andre still has them?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickster Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Black, totally black - not just the centres. I have always liked the black look (and thought about doing mine) and saw the totally black look on here somewhere just recently? Photoshop is a great idea - maybe I can find a shot of mine.........

Northy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Can't do a lot more with that - the picture needs to be better quality really. You get the idea though. What colour is your car? Oak Green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
