    5 twin spokes like that but without the rivets around the rim? Instead of 5 lug nuts they also have the style with a single locking nut just like the 2010 Porsche GT3 has.

    Thanks guys, it's kind of surprising how they all copy a site which made the article at first (when they wrote the article there weren't that much designs yet), but then they can't be bothered to check the source to see so many two-tone and black wheel combinations :(

    And to not getting any credit, I don't really mind, that's typical journalism, didn't feel like ruining all pictures with a watermark for you guys ;)


    Meanwhile progress on the Challenge version is quite far, but it still takes some time to polish it, you guys won't be disappointed :)

    they didn't put your best ones up! The two tone yellow/black has my heartstrings right now.

    We look forward to the Challenge version but I think your best effort so far was back in post #142. It featured the red body with a black roof and deck shown with the dark gray Scuderia wheels. Beyond that it is great that you continue to feature all four different views for each color version you create. Obviously something for almost everyone to like here in your great work!

    No suprise you got no credit from those useless hacks at autoblog, but THANKS for all the great graphics and hard work!

    I like any of the blues with a cuio interior and yellow calipers and 360CS wheels. Not a request, just saying what I'll buy mine in!

    Jim, thanks agan very much for the Challenge version. don't you have some place to upload them hi-res?

    it's a real dream.

    If you go on like this a little longer you will get a call form Luca (di Montezemolo) what you want to earn a month and if you would mind moving to Italy.

    Thanks for the nice comments people!

    Just had to watermark the amount of work there and this was the most subtle way ;)

    By the way, what did you think of the Giallo Solare Dark Red Roof above? (post #138)
