It's getting there!

Hats off to you Graham, I am sure you could recoup your outlay on this project by charging people to come and look at it.... the queue starts here! [:D]
 
Very clever bit of Photoshop! I can never manage that! Presume those are off his 964 Speedster - not his 993 version which had the standard turbo technology wheels - as mine but single colour (I'm still trying to decide!)

So it's nearly there now

I even priced these up today - in 18" diameter of course!

And these!

Yet more decisions to be made!

Just my personal taste but I think keeping the wheels silver would look best,


Thanks Aldo, really quite pleased with the car!
I'm still hesitant about the wheels - I need to see it on the ground with the suspension set up correctly.
The centres were meant to be titanium to match the rear grilles, door handles, mirrors and the Speedster badge!

We'll see!

Graham - getting slightly excited! LOL

looks stunning, i like the deep dish style rather than the flatter Fuch replicas

Nice work. Porsche have breathed new life into the Fuchs style wheels with the new Sport Classic, offsets might suit the 993. A set can be purchased from your OPC...

I suppose the remaining bits of my 'arms & legs' could be sold to buy a set of genuine Sport Classic wheels - I shudder to think what Porsche would be asking! I may just enquire for laugh!

Absolutely fabulous Graham.

Just my thoughts - but I think the blue wheels look a bit tarty. I prefer the black Fuchs style. I asked my wife what she thought and she also said the black would be better as a compliment to the black roof. Gives it more balance too.

Either way - gorgeous!!
 
Umm - glad it's not just me who's not sure about the wheels. They were meant to be 'titanium' coloured to match the other highlights on the car. Someone got carried away! Can always be repainted though - not set in stone!
Graham
 
Tripe - Now look what you've started! Got confirmed price on those pesky Sport Classic wheels with centre caps and a set of Pirelli tyres!
I just wont sleep tonight!

Calling Aldo! Can you Photoshop them on to my car! They may look terrible and it will kill the idea! (Here's hoping!)

I have been following your cars progress as has half of the Porsche membership .It looks stunning and shudder to think what the final bill will be ,but there are no pockets in shrouds so enjoy this one off classic .As to the wheels I like the speed line ones Aldo posted in a picture .The black ones in the photo shop look fine also, but not the blue ones IMO look tacky Look forward to the next episode as addictive as Dallas [:D][:D]
 
Argh - they look so good! Thanks Aldo [&:]

OK - I've now had a 'good' price back from my friendly local OPC on a set of Sport Classics - but they're not available until May (to co-incide with the launch of the car). So it will be the Turbo Technology wheels for the time being - maybe repainted!![;)]

It's not bad though - spent all this time and effort creating a car for 'me', and the only 'critique' so far is about the colour of the wheels!
The cost - well, as said - you're a long time dead!
Now trying to get a value for 'Insurance' purposes - difficult though as there arn't many 993 Widebody Speedsters in RHD form around. In fact possibly just one!
