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.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My car is a 996tt. The wheels seem to get dirty really fast. How do the whites work for you inaminit? or is there a cure I can learn about?

POST 8Original post

I have a complete set for sale. My 74 911 I just bought came with them and they just don't look right on that car.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Here's what I decided to do with my wheels. I used the recommended plastiic type paint, First I washed and cleaned each wheel inside and out. Then masked the scoops between the spokes (just out to the outer rim edge), wiped it down with lacquer thinner to rid it of all other foreign materials and sprayed them. I then removed the tape while the paint was fresh and used a paper towel, dipped in Lacquer thinner, to "rim" the edge. Once the paint was dry to touch (15 min in Arizona) I moved on to the next section. Took me about an hour a wheel once I got going and overcame my fear of painting this beautiful car's wheels. See what you think... Makes the spokes look longer, the wheels look taller, deeper and really pops out the yellow brake calipers. I love the added black to set off the Carrera White paint! I'm happy.

With plastidip so easy and cheap, just buy a few cans and experiment to see what you like or don't like on your own car.
