Rick,

That is a GREAT looking car. I like the new wheel color.

I kinda like 'em but think I'd like 'em lighter. What do they look like photographed under a cloudy sky? You've got the bright white of the car competing with the background shadows and window tint, so the camera's meter might not know what to meter on.

That's what I was thinking, but it's hard to know how the camera was evaluating.

More pics!

I actually like 'em dark. I'd be happy with that.

I like it ! I almost got a white 993, and I swore IF I were to end up with a white 993 I would definitely put gun metal/ black my02 wheels on Looks great!

Rick - Are those powdercoated? My Kinesis K28's are going coming apart for refinishing (while my car is at Rennsport Systems for a short ratio gearbox upgrade next month!) and I'm thinking of powdercoating them...in fact will be for sure. I like this look, very cool.

Disagree with you...I think they look really nice. I am not a fan of dark wheels except on white 993s.
