When you run out od fancy liveries for your Porsche 911 996 models, Advertise yourself! ( I love those 3-piece, gold toned BBS wheels)

I always thought this was strange use of the mold. They made tons of the liveried cars & even the white "presentation" cars without livery. Great models, regardless.
also really like the RSRs

I'm dying to know about the Yankee logo. Who paid who for that? Was the guy just a Yankee fan or did the Yankees help sponsor the car?

Hi Guys
A couple hours ago, I am out in the garage trying clean up things and looking thru all the bits and pieces in pudding cups. Found these metal 1/43 BBS rims that have been made from a Autoart rim that must have fallen into a white metal mold. Do not remember if the Autoart rim was metal or plastic, but some how it must have survived and a few white metal parts showed up. These were used to fix an Autoart Porsche that had lost its tires/rims and later peddled on ebay for a couple bucks. Like you said it such a nice rim we gave it a shot just to see if it could be made.

@gavin I often wonder how many collectors actually bought the Aa liveried 996 GT3R. I got it from Aa as a review piece. I doubt that I would have actually bought one.

@jack-daniels Why don't you post this on the 43 Forum? Some one might kill for a set of these.

I just looked it up. It seems one of the drivers, Leo Hindery owns the Yankees Entertainment & Sports (YES) Network...also partially owned by the Yankees (& I'm assuming Steinbrenner).
