Default Black rims

Anyone have any cool black rims on their 996? I want to swap my wheels out and was thinking of going to black ones. Pics or references anyone have?

WPOZZZ - nice rims, I like the polished outer rim with the black, it sets them off nicely - but I think I like the scenery better!

I have been looking at some BBS RS-GT rims that come in a Diamond black finish. Not so extreme

WOW - Black on Black looks great, however I think it still might be to extreme for my Seal grey

Is there really a good way to paint wheels? I always thought powder coating was the way to go. I am having trouble finding a good array of white ones.

Does anyone have pics of Kinesis K18s with a black center? I'm thinking of powder coating mine black this summer. Here's a quick & dirty photoshop I did to get an idea of what it would look like:

Funny, I was going to post about this today. What's the nicest way of painting/coating/etc standard carrera 5 spoke wheels to black? Not sure if that's a good idea or not...anyone done it?

I'm usually not a fan of black rims but those are great examples above (especially with the polished lip) and I just looked at a white 997 C4S with an Aero kit and black rims, looked very sharp.
