Default Wheel colors.... whatcha got

Hey all,
I am looking to get some new wheels for my car.... and I am looking to kind of go with a similar theme that I already have but not exactly.... So I am wondering what you might have available
Currently I have a black 991 and it is wearing Vorsteiner VF101 in either mystic black or carbon graphite... anyways...
The wheels I am going with are either going to be a two or three piece mesh type wheel....
I am looking to have a dark color setup on my wheels (no golds or bronzes, or greens or reds... more like black or graphite or dark silver or something), but want them to still stand out some from the black car while still keep the dark theme. They can be two difference shades of a color... but just trying to get away from the all black look that I currently have on the car.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions, pictures would be great. Thanks

You could try a custom color and/or finish on a factory wheel. I did this with my current Sport Technos, and I am loving the result and possibilities.

I just got some gun metal wheels for my car. I'll take pictures once I get the car back.
I think it will look good with the black car and the yellow calipers to offset

Building some wheels now. Going this color scheme. Not the style.

Gloss Bronze with Black centers.

I know you said no hold or bronze but ... HRE Frozen Champagne



A thread from 11 months and 19K miles ago when I got them. Still absolutely love them. They totally set the car off.

Also, unless you have PCCBs, if you actually drive your car, cleaning mesh wheels will be brutal.
