Well, seeing as everyones always banging on about trying to be greener...picked these up from the body shop earlier.

I was going to wait until they were on the car before i posted a pic but i couldnt contain myselfHyper

The colour is Porsche Signal Green...as found on the 997 gt3 rs.

Had them rubbed back to the metal..then acid etch primer put on..then normal primer...then high gloss top coat, not mixed with thinners, to try and make the finish as tough as possible, because it was done with the new crappy water-based paint...so we'll see how they last.

    They are going on a black rallye schlag..

    Ordererd new tyres today.

    Theres a small twist in the tale though. The original rallye stripes and stickers are off, and ive already had the replacements made upNinja In fact im looking at them right now..Its an idea ive had in my head for years, and im finally getting round to it.

    Pics will follow.

    Pah! Green wheels will be easy to keep clean!
    Try keeping white wheels clean whilst tailing the arse off your car round the ring on a daily basisCool
