Love the wheels. ASA was a great choice for the rims. The logo isn’t that ugly. lol

Alright, here's a poor pic of one of VKT's stock Porsche 996 Turbo wheels painted black with silver lip along with black TechArt wheel caps. The job was done by Puskan Auto Oy and there's no complaints, good work! The owner's a Porsche freak and you can spot his car(s) from the track day galleries, from example here.

Kaizu said it well. Any ol’ bloke can run down to the local shop and pick out a set of wheels. Even picking out a set of wheels that look good… blind squirrels find nuts now and again. But having the vision to integrate the car’s color scheme with the wheel, to go to the trouble to have the wheel powder coated, and then, as if that all weren’t enough, to top it off with small details like center caps that make the wheel look like it could have come from the factory (had the factory been infinitely cooler than it actually was) – THAT is the essence of a car freak. Well done.

What a story! In a way this shows what being a carfreak is all about. You have to go to great lenghts just to get a bit better results. In the end that really matters and separates from the rest. I hope these kind of stories would motivate people more to do stylish modifications, the end result sure looks individual and much better than the original.

Btw. Next monday I should be taking VKT’s track wheels (original Turbo wheels) to a paint shop. In a black car black wheels with a silver lip should look great. I’ll let you guys know whether everything goes as we planned or not.
