Too bad they don't make those in a lighter silver in 18". That color looks great on a black 993, but a lighter silver might look better on different color 993's.

I agree with what has already been posted by others, you chose the right color for a black 993 imo. I dig how you car has a very personal design to your own liking. I right-> saved a bunch of the photos and dropped them in the blk 993 folder. Thanks for sharing bro!

(no affiliation) I was never a huge fan of OZ, but after checking the quality and price, ( $390 front, $411 rear) and weight, (17lbs front, 19lbs rear) I'm blown away by the results and overall appearance of these ( value) 18" rims. Unsprung weight is decent and they feel planted. At $1620 for the set.. (I think my Kinesis were that PER rim.. ) these are well worth it.. My Kinesis K28 R'sK28 R's 18" are now for sale. Minty condition.. (see last photos) PM me..
Glad you like them.

I think they work with the smoked front and rear turn lenses; brings the whole look together.

I Refinished my 968's Cup IIs in about that same color. Dark gray looks great on a black car!
