Thanks Rob -- its just as I got it, so needless to say, things will change with it including the wheel color. I plan to have them refinished in a dark grey. My track wheels are yellow of all colors. Maybe I'll switch tires around and paint the yellow wheels dark grey and keep the black wheels for the track.

Wow, I was surprised by how many are out there. Thanks for all the great pictures. Don't see them much in the ususal wheel posts. They all look great! 
Curious if you all had standard wheels repainted or if many of these come from the factory with a black option?
Agree. I think painting the calipers makes a huge difference. Red seems to be the way most go. I am considering also yellow caliper option. Sort of "small yellows" if you will!
BTW, anyone have an approximate weight on the MYO2's?
Are they one piece cast wheels?
Yes, only question/concern I have about "all black" is changing tires. Have you found any problems with the paint on the lip being scratched off or damaged during tire changes or is this an imaginary problem (mine)?

David, very nice. You WB/Turbo guys have an advantage with that "deep dish" look. Can't get much in the way of lips on tthe NB . HRE's do have some great options for this right out of the box. I am still getting over my sticker shock after calling Wheel Enhancement about them last week!
Still not ruled out though.

964 with black 993 twists. Sorry its not a 993. I decided on the all black look with the red calipers. I have tried many different rims and all were silver. The black on black look is stunning on the 964 - 993 cars. Makes them far more interesting. Not for everyone, but those of us that went down that route

Anybody else have pix of black turbo twists on a silver 993? I've got a set of ratty hollow spoke twists that currently have slicks on them but thinking have having them refinished and powder coated black or dark grey and using them instead of the stock twists.

I have a chip from taking the wheels off to work on the car. But I bought a small can of touch up paint and just paint it on when they do chip. If they are painted properly they shouldn't chip. Just be careful when you take it into a shop to work on, they will just put the hammer in the there to get the wheel nuts off and most of the mechanics out there won't care.
