That would be the rim I think would look sweet on your Fasty.

I think the Phone Dials would work too. You could always play around with PhotoShop and see what you come up with. Toss some wieght in the front so it lowers it and take some more pix and load them up nd play.

i have to agree with everyone else. they are OK, but others would be much better.

my black Ronals are up for sale (just haven't posted them yet) if you want to consider them. they are low offset for the deep look. already have Kumho's on them. 16x7ET11 and 16x8ET23 (i may have the offsets backwards) with 195/50 and 225/50 (cause they were going on the bug, stock 951 is 205/55 in the front).

i attached a not so good pic of one. tires haven't been treated yet and the rim is pretty dusty from the move, but you get the idea.

That would be cool. Kind of have a RUF look and black on white is always cool. Black wheels, window tint and smokes lenses would make a big change. Toss some 80 lb. bags of readymix in the boot and your there.

agreed. i would stick with the white paint assuming it is in good shape. some red lettering on the rim lip (ala OZ or any racing style) to pull the interior color outside and some nice red calipers.

Black rims on white paint does look nice, I'm running that on my 14. Very race like. I'm gunna have to agree with everyone else the Boxster rims look ok on the fasty but they look better on the 1302.

Zen, If I am to run 7" wide rims, the offset would have to be at least 40 or more. There's no way I could run an 11mm or 23mm offset rim under stock fenders on a T3.

I am going to have to possibly run 6" wheels in the front & 7" in the back or 7" all the way around with a 40mm or more offset.

I do agree with everyone though that the boxter wheel just doesnt look right.
I will have to see if I can pick up some Fuchs or Phone Dials.
