    I think it looks cool. Say, would you be interested in selling your old wheels and tires? I have a 90TR and would LOVE them.

    It's what you like that matters, but since you asked, I don't care for it.

    Ditto on both accounts. It doesn't mater what anyone but the owner thinks. But I also don't like colored rims.

    Ditch them and put OEM back on. 512 wheels are soooo cool there is no need for after market.

    I'm not a big fan.

    By the way, are they the Chinese made wheels that they are selling on ebay?

    I would put the originals back on, and paint the brakes red. I think it would be a great complement and less Bling(if that can be said for a TR).

    Don't like it. But it's your car and if you like it...keep it.

    Realistically speaking there are no alloys available on the market that compliment the look of the 512TR better than the stock wheels that come standard with the car.

    For $950 it ain't shabby but the 512TR is best with factory wheels.

    i think its too much , there is enoughgoing on with the body i.e. strakes, hard lines etc. would look better on a 355 360 prob. need the simpler look

    heres an idea, how about black instead of red ?

    Since you asked... I dont like it. The 512 was special, being the last iteration of an icon. Those wheels manage to make the car look like its older sibling. OE 512TR wheels for me.

    On a positive note... the closeup pic shows just how gorgeous the condition of your car is. I love it, but she deserves better shoes.

    Keep em.

    I like the rims, they look like the 575 rims. The color could change though. I think they would look better black with the chrome lip. But the red is different , and makes it unique.
