Default New wheels, you like?

I have been wanting to refinish my 996 TT wheels for a while. Something other then silver has been on my mind. These popped up & I had to try them.

I must say I like them. The silver ring makes them pop, & the black doesn't seem to fade in, it makes the calipers stand out more.

old


new




It was raining, so that is why the pics look a little off.

adding a Red S on 4S center caps would bring it all together. Looks nice

The wheel centers really compliment the body color and agree with Mag that adding the 4S center caps will make it complete.

New ones are definitely better! Agree with Joe, black "4S" center caps with a silver S and a red 4 would be awesome!

I like the new version.....very nice. Some cool center caps would really finish out the look.

Not a fan. Black cars need the wheels to stand out for some contrast (and not chrome either.......too much bling), otherwise it's too much black, IMHO.
