Its more of a gunmetal hue/graphite color. Very nice, and seems to be a damn near perfect match on my Arctive Silver C2S...yeah, there you go...its Arctic Silver!

Yup, they call it black diamond but it is more greyish than blackish.
I actually wish they were black in the center. Maybe I ll eventually get them painted.

The 19" wheels are made by ATP and they are the 5RAzze.
U can see them at http://www.carshine.com.au/index.htm...P%20Wheels.htm

I want to sell them as well as the tires that I have on them. I am not looking to get much money. As a matter of fact I just want to sell the tires ( I had just bought them a month ago!!) and I ll give the wheels with the tires if someone gave me a decent price for them.

PM Me if interested.

I fitted them with a set of Mich PS2s in 235/40 and 275/35. It s taking me a bit of time to get used to them as I used to ride on 19's.
The 19's looked great and really filled the wheel wells but I found they looked a bit too "bling" because of the shiny lip. These BBS wheels, I find looked much less blingy on the 993.
The best part of course is the saving in unsprung weight!!
I find the ride so much more confortable.

1st picture is of the 19's. Rest is the BBS.
Opinions.
Best looking wheel for the 993 IMO. Makes me want them for my car....

Touf, the RS GT's look great on your car.

I use them as track wheels on my 986.

I ll be honest with you. I wouldn t recommend the 19" wheels for the track. Ur tire budget would go sky high.

I am however selling them with the tires that come with them for a very low price. The tires have a lot of thread left on them so if u just want another set of wheels u re welcome to get them from me.
