Well I went and cleaned up the wheels with a little armor all and a towel. (That really sucked BTW)
Here's a few more photos to flip the nay-sayers.

Ed, it looks gorgeous. It took a little while to grow on me (I looked last night and thought about it, but didn't say anything)....now, I absolutely love it. I miss my Vesuvio car. That is such a stunning color. The wheels match perfect. I always thought about getting black wheels for mine. I had a more than a few negative comments (here) about the black wheels on my current (Iris Blue) 996. It has become my favorite mod, that I have ever done to a car.
You only have to make one person happy when it comes to your car (ok, maybe two)...my wife loves your new wheel color also.
Here is your car's twin, with polished wheels. Your wheels look way better. My blue car is pictured, before the black wheels. My vesuvio car had a stock suspension. The iris blue car is dropped with PSS9s.

Yes but the wheels were really beat up especially after the last blowout where I hit a rock that pinched the tire to the side wall and took a fairly good gouge into the wheel edge. The main reason for this paint job was to get rid of the dings, scratches, and horrible curb rash that was on the wheels.
I'm not one for doing something for nothing. There was a reason behind the whole project.....

I like your blue with black wheels! I really like that it's lowered the way it is and it looks more utility than bling when they\ wheels are black!

I like it, but eventhough you went a little off-black, I think it's still a little too dark for your dark colored car.
It would have been perfect for my car (Seal Grey).
You should apply a thin pinstripe around the rim/edges, that should help.
