Rim pick

[DukeMan]

Hi guys!

I need your opinion on this one because I simply can´t make up my mind. I´ve finally come up with an excuse to start a new project, even though I´m already working on 3. Anyway, the car is the Tamiya Porsche 911 carrera (I´m gonna make it a 996 C4), the paint will be either gloss black (TS-14) or very dark blue (TS-55 dark blue). The rims will be Alclad Chrome. Now to the question, what rims should I use;

The always good-looking Volk TE37´s (I know, the pic is a bit dark but you get the idea)



, the DTM-Supertourismo-O.Z.-like ones



or the Skyline-standard-R34 ones?



I will do my best to finish this one as quick as I can, and hopefully it will be done before 2005 (maybe in time to enter AFMOTY!). Therefor I´m not buying any extra stuff like rims or PE´s, I´ll have to go with what I have in store (wich is quite a lot...everything unbuilt offcourse).

Regards, Fredrik

I like the top ones!

I like the Merc DTM wheels. They will look great in chrome on the dark blue. The Volks look OK but just don't seem right on a Porsche. Kurz

Those aren't Volk's, TE37's have 6 spokes, those are Nismo lmgt's rims by RAYS.

I think the Nismo's look nice.

I like the DTM-Supertourismo-O.Z best
as Freakray said they are Nismo LM GT Rims

I'd go with the second set of wheels.

The Skyline wheels look a bit weird on this car. The Nismo's don't look too bad, but there is just something wrong about them on the car.

the dtm's are the nicest, for some reason stock skyline rims only look good on skylines...it's crazy!

Offcourse! How could I mix èm up like that? Anyways, thanks for your opinions, I´m still not sure about wich ones to pick though. I do however have two more alternatives, but it would require some rim-surgery. Here are the other two rims, they are wide as hell and needs to be sawed.

This:



or this?



I think I like the first ones better than the second...

I like the second and third ones. But if you use the second ones paint them a differant color, like blue.

I agree 100% Skyline rims IMHO just don't look right on other cars.

On the 911 I think the first set of rims look the best.
