Raven Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 I like the last image Valliant green and the more open spoke wheel design ..........Image 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 Makes a massive difference seeing the wheels on the car. I am now leaning towards the closed spoke design as I believe they suit the car better.I also wonder whether Fraise would look better with gold script versus black, as to my eye the black truly suits the Valliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 4, 3, 1, 2I deliberated a lot between the order for 4 and 3 though. If you go Fraise 2 just looks wrong imo, I'd go 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBRUT Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 top wheel for sure.bottom wheel looks like it needs to be on a 996 or something.This. The top wheel is basically an early BBS mesh replica. If you like that style, are you not tempted to simply fit some pucker BBS? Early one piece or later 3 piece would be period correct. As to the colour, with respect, you're overthinking it. Go with your gut. I have built two, let's be kind and say 'unusually' coloured, 911's. A Royal Purple 73 Targa with green/tartan interior and a Bahama yellow 69 coupe with dayglo orange contrasting bumpers. In both cases, the majority of the punters said I was nuts. I took the Targa to Rennsport just after it was finished and the overwhelming response was positive (aside from the houndstoothy "but its NOT the factory delivered colour" 901 crowd). Ditto, with the Bahama race car. That was the factory colour, but I hate yellow cars. Somehow, the funky bumpers make that baby poo hue work. Ps. Yes, I have just had coffee. Quite a bit.

ANF Posted 11April, 2017 Report Share Posted 11April, 2017 You have it all wrong Mr Chops, you need to build a 964 Turbo Replica Actually choice number 1, these wheels and colour suit the style/ period best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 12April, 2017 Report Share Posted 12April, 2017 I rank it, 4 3 2 1 what he said Whichever way you go in those wheels. I foresee a lot of cleaning in your future, I have the more open spoke BBS design on my BMW and I am forever cleaning cleaning. But then I must have bought the 'extra dust' pads. They are called 'style 42' in BMW speak and are an original BBS wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find centres where do you get barrels from? Same spots?It might end up getting too hard but worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT Posted 12April, 2017 Report Share Posted 12April, 2017 On the car I like the more closed spoke ones.Close contest with the colour but by a whisker it's fraise with the closed spokes - image 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wheels will be 15" and ideally 10.5" rear and 8.5" front. I know I can re-barrel. But thanks anyhow and keep the leads coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Chops Posted 13April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 The wheel below is supposed to be a close match for the wheel on the orange car...Ues the colour of off but that can be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 13April, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 13April, 2017 Have you considered Compomotive wheels ? Thanks for the suggestion. No I hadn't. The below look great but I can't find them new and getting the exact widths and offsets is really important to me and really hard with second hand rims.

All you need are the centres and get a set of inners and outers made to your requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
