I prefer silver, but what do you think of these wheels on a black NB 993?

They look super tough on all of the krazy bright stuff, like a new orange, green or white RS, but black would still be OK.

Check out Rob's car...I am sure he will post a picture soon...his car is black/black/black. We will be doing his calipers red this winter which should stand right out.

I like the MY02's black but might prefer a gun-metal color instead.

Cheers,

Mike

Anyone have a pic of these on a black NB? I'm curious. I have a black NB, but mine are silver.

There is someone here on the list who has them in black on a black car and it looks perfect! Toying with the idea of black for mine but I just refinished them and probably will use them for track wheels and get something flashier in black for the street.

For me, all-black wheels on a black car is too much and not a look that works for me. Even if just the rims were silver/polished, it would relieve the stark severity. In the end, if it floats your boat, who cares what I have to say about it?

Nice, but wouldn't put on top of my list - a satin finish would look hot, especially anthracite or silver.

These will really accentuate your brakes.

Ok, so how much do the my02 wheels usually go for? I have a set of hollow twist's that I want to sell and get my02's. Thanks. Mark
