Another Visit to Panther........

While I like the factory competition grey wheels, I thought they might be enhanced by machining a small lip. The factory "dark" look is fine, but lacks a edge to give definition to the wheel against the dark tire.

A visit to Panther created the solution. Tony, one of their machinists put the fix on these wheels:

After machining, the wheels are cleared for protection. Here is the end result:

This machined lip gives a more technical look to the factory painted competiton grey wheels, and can be done relatively inexpensively. The width of the lip is limited by the degree to which you want to chew into the spokes. On these wheels, we went with about a 3/8 inch lip. I also added the decals on the center caps for some additional color.

You're right the machined lip really adds depth to the wheel. A Sweet ride and garage! :thumbsup:

I'm impressed that you thought of machining the wheel instead of simply painting a bright silver border, well done. The results are amazing, not to mention that you have slightly reduced unsprung weight. (c'mon, you knew I was going to say something about weight) :laughing:

Nice ride! :thumbsup:

Nice job and good idea, that definitely gives the wheel a different look.
