New rubber, new look!

[Sizzle Chest]

I was needing new rubber on the 911. Decided to pull my HRE's off and change up the look a little!

I Plasti dipped my factory BBS wheels. This is the 3rd time that I've done this. First time I went with Anthracite, then gold with the Anthracite base and now gold with a yellow base. I am very pleased with how they turned out and love the look!!

(such a shame the fronts have so much tread left and the rears wear much quicker!)

Missed this post last night, Scott.

You do it all bro! Impressive work as always.

I'll go get Brett Weir like you said............. ;)

[Sizzle Chest]

Yeah Pauly, I'm good with the calves...the thighs...and I can rebuild those starter motors for ya!

[coles_paint_correction]

Not going to lie Scott I really thought they weren't dipped, looks amazing nice work.

[Sizzle Chest]

Thank you!!!

[hoyt66]

Sizzle I wasn't sure about this (not that that matters) until the final product. Looks right for sure! Good job on those!!

[JDGolden]

Great work. I like the factory finish a lot. But this turned out awesome. How did you remove the oversrpay?

[Markymapo]

Are they Carrera S 20” i’m Assuming. Maybe I should change up the color on my Cayman S in pic,just not sure what color

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks for the replies all!!!

Overspray will peel right off. On the tires, you dress them first and it hardly sticks to them.

Yep, 20" Carrera wheels! You have endless choices with a silver car! Black, anthracite, red, etc, etc!

Love the livery decals and dipped wheels. Probably keeps the factory clear protected as well.

How long before they start to chip or peel?

Porsche wheels have always been such great designs. I was just talking about Porsche wheels a few days ago. My favorite wheel design maybe all-time are the 90’s Turbo wheels.

^^^Bob, I've had them dipped prior to this and it was approx 2 years and they were in still very good shape. It is surprisingly resilient and holds up very well. Need to just remember that they are dipped when cleaning them as to not go nuts with scrubbing them or anything.
