Default Show Me Your Black Wheels!

I dig the sinister look of black wheels, and I'd like to see how they look on various color 993s. Are they too much on a black car? Do they look dumb on an otherwise stock car? Please post pics of your 993 - any color - with black wheels. TIA!

EDIT: I should clarify - I mean all-black wheels, without the polished rim.

I never really liked my Cup wheels, so when I scratched the hell out of them going sideways through the gravel at Mid-Ohio, I had them re-painted black. There are days that I hate them, and some days when i really like them. I definitely have an easily recognized 993. I do not think I can recommend the look, but it is personal preference.

Bump de bump

I have a triple black 993 and have seen the a local black car with black wheels. Lowering the car really finishes the look, It is anti bling all the way. It's also sinister ala Darth Vader.

Tony, those wheels look fantastic! I am a big fan of the HRE 547Rs, but those 540s have almost won me over.

A local track junkie has a black 993 with black wheels. The rim surrounding the tire is painted yellow and IMO gives a nice contrast, and looks great at speed.

Best wishes
