Just picked up a GTS and like others not in love with the black wheels. These look great with the black center lock. My car is GT silver so wonder how that would look. Thanks for sharing looks awesome.
These look great—curious how they've held up to rock spray/chips this way vs the factory black paint? I have noticed that modern wheel paint looks bad quickly...makes me wonder if it is very soft. Powder-coated finishes are thus pretty interesting...
I drive my car, just turned 14k. I think these were done at around 8k, look like new.
Took me a while to get on the black wheel bandwagon. They always looked like spare or snow tires on the car. I can't remember when I finally came around. Probably when the larger rim sizes got popular.
But now that they are on every make of car, it's taken away from the look imo. Cheapens it a bit. Dilutes it. But that's how all things trendy go. Starts out as a novelty, then it becomes readily available and over used. Then we get tired of it and move on.
Some still look great with black rims. Especially when there are black trim parts, but I'm starting to get over them. That's why I went bronze.
Now when I see black wheels, I'm starting to see voids again in the wheel wells, like I used to.

^ Thanks for the feedback! Could be a FL vs CA or even Northern CA thing, as your roads may have less detritus and rocks? But I still wonder if paint has become softer for environmental reasons...which of course then prompts people to…repaint them (and maybe multiple times).

I didn’t think I would like black wheels after 2 911’s with standard color 20’s. I recentlytly purchased a 2018 base 911 with factory optional
black wheels. The car is Agate and I really like the look with the black wheels.
I'm working on paint correcting it right now so the spoiler, etc is off. Once it's all put back together, I'll get some full car shots. Here's just a pic of the bronze Spyder rim in the meantime
I put Avant Garde Ruger Mesh on my 997 C4S. They were awesome. I think I paid $1500 for the set in 19". They aren't for track use, at least I wouldn't use them there. But for street they were great. https://avantgardewheels.com/avant-g...mesh/#thewheel
