Default Darker painted phone dials?

Does anyone have any pics of phone dials painted different colors,
I thought darker silver or charcoal might be cool.
Thanks Mojo

Cue Geoff with the wheels he's refinishing. Dark gray centers and polished lips. That style and all white are the only ways to go with phonedials.

Well I did a search before I posted and all I found was white and polished. They where ok but I think I would like to do mine in charcoal, my car is Guards red so I think they would match nice.
I really do like the phone dials.

hmmmmm, return the fuchs to my friend(he's loaning them to me) and paint the PD's black, or just think about how good it would look. the only reason they arent already painted is because the previous owner(original) took very good care of my car. its just paint right?

Yup, they are 16-inch PD's. Those are some of the best looking wheels i have ever seen for the 944 in my opinion. I would love to duplicate that with a set of 15 PD's i have..however it looks like a ton of work to get looking that good.

Those wheels were on german ebay maybe 3 or 4 years ago, right? Everybody loves them but I haven' seem a similar set yet. How do you work the transition from polished to painted? I would think it would be tough to keep a nice edge.
