Are three posts required before you can embed links?

Something seems wrong, there are a few posts where the images have been removed.

10 posts.

No need for brackets or code, just type in the link and the image shows up.

I just uploaded them all to Google Photos, so here’s the link to that:

So as the Porsche’s have a silver colored side vent vs. black, I was thinking of doing that to my Spyder as well to match the hard top

I was able to directly link the pics- so I’m wondering is how will it look on my Spyder:

That’s a Spyder pic with the gray on black- looks good, no?

That black Spyder looks interesting with this wheels. 

Aren't those wheels from a Lotus?

I think you are right. It makes the rear of that car look fat in a good way.  

 I have the same wheel sizes and my rear compared to the front has what I call that 19th century big bicycle wheel look.

I can't make up my mind if I like those sizes or not. I would like new wheels but the logical part of me says only the same size slightly wider and much less weight.

On the side vents, if your going a different color I would match them to the wheels and hardtop.

a member had the elise wheels on his spyder here in NJ... omg they rode so rough i thought my teeth were going to rattle out... i'm not sure if it was the tires he used, his coilovers or the roads here... or maybe all three... i really liked the look and considered doing that upgrade but i didn't want to subject myself to that ride quality...

Its probably his coilovers.  Most people that own the Spyder get terrible coilovers that are not the researched ones.  I have the same wheel sizes and very thin sidewalls with tires that are stiff  and my car drives like a dream.  Its stiff but not harsh at all.  Those that had a ride in my car cant believe I have coilovers.  

What coilovers  are you running Dev?

I drove in a Rsx type S that had ksport coilovers which felt wonderful. Something told me if I had the same brand coilovers on the Spyder I would not have the same results.

 I have the TEIN SSP.  They were researched as a street coilover and mild track. They are really nice and grip the road well unlike the cheap Chinese stuff that bounces.
