Chris, here's some SUPER subjective input for you:
-I don't think the gray you have complements the black car very well at all.
-Black wheels on a black car is played, boring, stereotypical of a gangster (or wannabe), and hides the gorgeous look of the cup 1 wheel (or c2 turbo, w/e it's called).
-I never liked the halloween color scheme of orange on black. It's visually cool but after about 2 seconds I think of halloween. I can't really put it into words - it looks good but I don't like it.
-Black wheels on a red car looks NICE. Red wheels on a black car, nope.
My choice: black chrome. By FAR, the nicest wheels I've ever seen on a black 968 were custom black chromed sport classics.
Again, this is all completely subjective, with perhaps a dash too much honesty.

Thanks Arash, I think we're of like mind, I just didn't know it yet... Ive always like the idea of orange and black but i don't think it would work day to day. maybe one day when i have dedicated track wheels or even a track car!
All your points are well taken and im now leaning towards OE or black chrome. i think dark bronze, like on that NA 944 look amazing but i think it would be easy to mess up the execution.... I don't want to have sparkly gold rims or a dull copper either... too easy to mess up...
so there it is: OE or a black chrome/gunmetal-y color... hmmm
