IMO, black wheels have been so "over-down." Just say NO to black!

Graphite would look great on your SB Cab. Ti would also look very good. Break out of the pack and be a lone wolf!

OK, I gave you my opinion. I am done here!
just to spite you I will order bronze!

Works for me! Better than black.

Ti ====== 12
Graphite == 21
S Black === 6
M Black === 5

Even when combining the votes for the two "blacks," black still came in 3rd place in the poll. I'm not really sure why you created the poll. Oh, wait, I get it now. You were going to go with the color with the LOWEST number of votes.

Shrewd, Larry, shrewd!

Matte is a great call. Anything else would have been a bit too blingy.

here is thing, I realized that unless I could see a rendering of these wheels on the car I couldn't tell if I would like the outcome, so picking a color that was
a roll of the dice at $6k didn't work for me ...

I was just yanking you chain a little. No malice intended.

Hey, when it comes to making a "non-silver" color decision on wheels, I get it!

I struggled a little when I ordered my aftermarket wheels. I went with gloss gun metal wheels on my Meteor Gray metallic 997.2. The combination ended up looking good, IMO, but I was still apprehensive until the new wheels arrived.

I like the satin finish on the OEM CL wheels better than a matte finish.
