Default Black Turbo Twists on 964?

Does anybody have black turbo twists on their 964? I have been wanting to swap out my D90s for something else and just bought some 17" turbo twists that are black with polished lips. Not sure if they will look good or not, my car is slate grey metallic.

Check out the "Random picture" thread, I think there are a couple of cars that fit your criteria.

I just went through random pic thread...and lots of cool cars to look at, but none have the turbo twist in black....I'd like to see that as well.

They are a bit too black for my taste, especially in a black car with black interior. Would be quite stealthy at night though

I was concerned it would be too much, but now that they're on the car I like the way it looks. I'll post better pics in the Random Pic Thread once I get the car out of the garage. Either way there is a set of Fikse Profil 5S's in my future.

You can find a picture of a slate grey cab with black Ruf wheels and a silver lip in this thread. Not the right center, but with black centers it wont be very visable.

Here's my dilemma...I want to run OE hollow turbo twists (11 inch) rears. Hate the wheel..but its good light and v.strong and also not too expensive...so I want to see how much of it vanishes when painted black...

HERE's some in black.




And my favorite, dark grey.


These aren't twists but black wheels on your white 964 will look downright MEAN.

Although this link is for a 993 in Silver this may give you an idea.

I have no affiliation with the vendor.

Is that 11" in the rear of a 964 narrow body?
