Nice. Had black on my last 964, very cool. They look painted rather than powder coated?

Thanks for all the comments! Yes these have been painted with multiple coats and clear coated using Casper clear then baked. Very happy with the results. The weather hasn't been that great lately so here are some quick pics of the car. Will post more pics later when she's had a proper bath and shine. Currently experimenting with the center caps and the all black are on for now.

As for the Conti DWs.....superb! Can't believe how quiet they are and seem to absorb rough roads much better than the previous ones on there. Very happy!

sounds like they have soft sidewalls .. may not be a good thing for performance.

You may be stating the obvious... I wanted a quiet tire and these definitely delivered. They are reasonably priced too so for a primarily street DD as mine it was worth to try. So far I love them and time will tell. They fared pretty well against some big boys too...

I love a nice set of black cups!

Have you thought about changing your headlight right to black to match?
