Default Black 991 with Platinum Wheels?

Thinking about this combination. Thoughts?

Some pics I have seen look good but others not so much. Anyone here have this combo?

To me they looked good at the dealer and I almost ordered them. I decided for the regular ones though since they gave a better contrast and more "pop" with the black. Hey, with black you can't go wrong either way.

I think platimum Carrera Classic wheels look particularly good with black. Also they would show less brake dust.

Personally I'd pass. Imo that trend passed about a year ago. A buddy had an E63 back in '06 black with custom painted HRE's that were black with chrome lip and it was sick. Now, it's played out. But that's just me.

I've seen the DBM with the satin platinum wheels and it looked really good!

I think they're the best wheel option and they look awesome on almost any color.

Here is a shot on black.

platinum wheels on black is a great look. not feeling the black wheels (and never liked them on the GTS's either).

I have the Platinum finished wheels on my Guards Red 991. They look incredible. The best 991 wheel option by far - and almost reasonably priced (by Porsche standards).

Thanks, I like those better. The SportsTechno ones painted with some black are my favorites overall. Platinums are nice but I like the contrast with the standard wheels better.
