well obviously the wheels would need powdercoating. And i bet when the designer at Porsche first told management of the idea to paint a Porsche's rims Bright Red/Pink/Orange, they laughed at him and told him that its not a civic....and now GT3's are fly... |

So you are saying that Civics were the first car to have painted wheels? I'm not sure if you know this or not, but Porsche has been offering colored wheels for special versions of the 911 since the 70s. I'm just saying... if you want to get creative... awesome... but there is a line between being different and being tacky and tasteless. And the 370Z is not a Porshce GT3. |

The grey GT3 RS with red is incredibly good looking in person. Generally the porsche models that offer color accents are the race/track inspired models, hence the track oriented appearance..........

no, this one has a pearl to it. Although the rest of my car will be matte black soon.
