Wheeldude (ROTA) has wheel caps! I Like the rota's myself, but I do think caps would help finish the look. Just love the RS look of them.

The last two photos were all I needed to confirm my thoughts. No offense to Jeff, but, just wrong beyond dancing banana fix. Proportions bro. Proportions. Don't get ridonkulous.

Jamie.... Dean did this car right. Don't fuck with it. Please.

In case there was any question, let me be clear: Jamie.... Dean did this car right. Don't fuck with it. Please.

If you want to fuck with something, find something else in the barn. This car was PERFECT when you bought it. Please leave well enough alone and fuck with another car. I mean, would you buy the Mona Lisa and start water painting new eyelashes?

Ok, all due respect SHIT bro, OMG, you TITS just gave me ASS just fucking Tourette's. OMG. Go get a FUCKING ASS WIPE coffee.

I hope you get the joking vibe I'm coming from. Just teasing you. But I also hope you DON'T FUCK it UP!

Okay latest question. The 17" Rota's are gone. Also my 7x16" Fuchs are sold. With my wider 16" fuchs going on. Do you think the black centers with the polished lip look best? Or would polished lips & paddles with black background look better? Basically the RSR look but polished

Also if black centers. Do I keep the polished cap & lug nuts?

I think the way it is in the picture looks nice.

Don't listen torand...he has torands disease.....it's a big mouth and a high opinion of his own opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Your money, do what you want.
Use the 914 drawing site and you can look at both wheels on your car.

Put 2 on the right side and 2 on the left. Drive it for a week and decide which you like better... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I like both looks....but I think the polished centers and lugs should go with the 16x7's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I like the 16's but in the finish of the Rotas...I have black 16s on mine, but will probably refinish them (when I can afford it).

James bro. No offense but you are re-asking questions that have already been answered.

This car looked perfect when you got it. I understand that you can't seem to leave well enough alone, but..... BLACK CENTERS with this combo!!

No I'm not asking the same question. It is similar though. The Rota's weren't polished & they were 17". I need to find that 914 picture thread. I like the RSR look but think I will do as Mike mentioned & put it on one side. Drive it for a day looking at both. Big difference between polished lips with polished paddles, the RSR silver look & black centers with polished lips.

As far as changing the wheels. I may stick with the black centers. It does look great as it is. Since I am selling the 7's that are on it for wider fuchs wheels. This sure seems like the time to figure out how I want the 8x16" fuchs to look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'll wait until I get the wheels & throw them on.

Just did the configurator & didn't really get what I want.
Can some photoshop guru just put a set of 16's with polished RSR finish?

I think it is an impossible decision, though the wheels on it have grown on me since I first saw them. to me, that paint pairs up nicely with the bling as delivered.
