Default wheels for lapis blue. What color...

I've decide to get some aftermarket rims. I have a C2S lapis blue with areokit..I know I want a five spoke rim with a deep dish rim but can't decide on the spoke color. I don't want chrome spokes..I want to know what color spoke would looks good with lapis blue? I think color match spokes looks good on some colors just not sure with lapis. I leaning toward just silver spoke or even a dark grey spoke.. These rims will have a chrome lip. What do you think? please no comments on different factory wheels or mesh style wheels.

I think Glossy black would look really good with lapis blue.

Color matched! From what I've seen, it occurs to me that all colors look amazing on rims except white (brake dust). Can you photoshop a pic of the lapis blue spokes with the polished lip on the OZ wheels? That I think would look sharp.

Having a Lapis Blue 996 (not a 997) I have seen black, chrome, silver and deep dish chrome rim with silver painted spokes. I do not like deep dish which leaves me with 1. Silver 2. Chrome 3. Black. If you are going deep dish the above mentioned ones were not that bad I just do not like the overall look. IMHO!

Wow i love your Lapis Blue C2s !! Such a beautiful color.

Go for either black centre or Chrome, you won't regret it!

Maybe you should go for wheels such as HRE or Iforged. Chrome lips with brushed alumunium centre. It will look good and clean on your C2s..

Thanks for your response. I can get these Avus wheels with brushed aluminum center too. I was planing on doing that but just thought i would ask and see some other color choices from some of you on here.. I didn't get that much response though.( maybe because it was not the normal wheels of choice here)
