Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got my new shoes a couple days ago... I've always loved the LMs. My question is.. Keep them silver or paint the centers black with a polished lip? Sorry about the pic quality, it was really bright out today.. The original pics were really blue, so I pshopped the blue out of them (well, attempted to)

POST 5Original post

I like them too. They match the car really well.

POST 6Original post

Looks good in silver. What did you use to have?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys... I did some p'shopping and made the front wheel black... I think I'm going to stick with silver Kristap - I had these on before... The car came with rims which were labelled "Classics" on the center cap but were manufactured by BBS. btw, they will be for sale if anyone wants them cheap...

POST 8Original post

Is that a lip on a stock front bumper or a complete bumper? In either case where did it come from?

POST 9Original post

Your car looks fantastic as is- with the silver wheels.

POST 11Original post

Keep the silver. The black center on the photoshop pic makes the wheel disappear and that's not a good thing!

POST 14Original post

They Look Much better on your car then on mine, I guess thats why I took them off!, Great looking car....

POST 17Original post

my vote for black!!!!! car looks tatally different with black alloys and of course more unique....

POST 18Original post

Jon, The car looks sick, leave them in silver then get the calipers in red, the contrast would compliment her well...congrats

POST 22 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the comments guys. Much appreciated! I'm definitely going to stick with silver, I don't think the black compliments the LM's that well (at least that's the case with the photoshop pic). As of now, I have a list of mods that I've planned, just not enough time! Plus, winter is here, so I'll have to garage her until spring... ugh But I do agree with those that have said red calipers are a must and a bit more agressive/lower stance would be nice.. Dharn55 - the front lip is from Cargraphic. Check it out. www.cargraphic.de If you want to wait, I will be selling mine (with the silver grill inserts also made by Cargraphic). I am getting the RUF or GT2 to replace...

POST 23Original post

make them black....sorry but I like them both and everybody else already has silver..the black with silver look very nice...and not over the top because the whole car is black!...but what do I know..I like red calipers too, but my wife thinks it is too sporty....??? how can it be to sporty ..it is a 911!!

POST 24Original post

I vote for silver also...do you got some more pics of your front ( lip ) /Rob

POST 25 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is not my car, but it looks identical to my front...

POST 26Original post

Jon, Very Nice!! I love the cup car/track look that the LMs give the Carrera! On the color, my vote is for black center pieces. I like that look. It makes the car looks really bad *** for me. Look at this video, it has a dark car with black rims, and it really look sick coming down highway!!! http://www.pcars.us/videos/Porsche_Toy_Run_Dec12th.wmv By the way, did you get a chance to weigh them? I'm curious how lightweight they are with or without the tires. Thanks!

POST 27Original post

I seen that picture but i dont think its a good one ...maybe you got some better from different angles e.t.c... /Robert

POST 28 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, the black rims/polished lip look is pretty agressive... I used to have that on my old wheels, so trying silver is a nice change. Mike, 19" LMs front and rear are 24 and 25lbs, respectively. With tires they were around the mid-50 range I would assume...
