Don't think that painting wheels black will solve your brake dust problem. Brake dust on black wheels shows up as a brown coating on the wheels. Takes just as much work to keep black wheels looking clean as silver, IMHO.

I bough them form a local rennlist member. looks like they painted the centercap and powdered the wheels, colors match up very good. you know some classic wheels in black would look very nice as well.....

Not looking for a solution to the brake dust more than I am completing the look of the car but to me its less noticeable to others anyway between washings. I am aware, half my cars have dark to very dark finish wheels. The sweet spot of course is matte finish titanium colored wheels like on my 8 but the gray doesn't work with what I am doing with the black and white contrast.

Yup thinking about that still... can't find an image of anyone that has done it but I do prefer for the black anyway the wheels we both have.

matte black , regular black and silver wheels all show brake dust in different ways ...the " brake dust colored " platinum satin in the current Porsche wheel option range hides it best , naturally
kindalike dust and pollen ...the dk gray / bronzy color agate surprisingly hide them the best because that color's metal flakes look just like " dusty pollen " in bright sun !

Hello... long timer lurker, first time poster.
I'm ordering a 911C2 before they become turbos. Its pretty much my dream car and I can't wait to finally join the club.
I'm trying to make my car appear more like some of the upper range models, particularly the GTS. I find the stock look of the car to be more GT than sportscar, but that's just my opinion.
To do this, I think that the sport design fascia and possibly black wheels might give me that look.
Does anyone have any photos of the black stain wheels on a 911? I can't seem to find pictures of the black. The platinum seems much more common on the 911.
Thanks guys!
