Just to prove that two tone wheels look poor... heres a 968 in blue I found.

It makes the wheels look small

IMO, two tone wheels add too much of a single color. I prefer the wheels to be a different color so it adds contrast to the side view of the vehicle. The 944 with red wheels almost gave me a headache because there was so much red.

hmm. well futures wheels are 18's and the blue 968's are 17's. I think a two tone polished lip with black centers, or all standard aluminum color looks the best. I love to see a photoshop of future's car with the same wheels, but with black centers and standard aluminum lips on the wheels. To me that is a fantastic modernization of our cars. I really can't think of one better. just my 0.2.
