Default Pic Request: Black 996 w/ black twisties

I am trying to decide between buying new wheels or just refinishing my twist wheels and paint them black. Anyone have any pictures with black on black wheels. Thanks!!

Look at the tire rack app that shows you your car in your color with a variety of (aftermarket) wheels. You can get an idea of what they would look like.

Check out Wheel Enhancement. Lots of pictures with various color combos.

Twisties are too heavy, regardless of color. Find a set of '02+ Carrera lightweights (five thin spokes), or go aftermarket forged.

Upload a pic of your car and the rims you want. I can do a quick photochop for you.

Here is a super hacky job at it.

I did 3 versions, flat black, gloss black, gloss black with a chrome lip. They aren't perfect the blacks got jacked up in jpg conversion, but they should give you an idea.

BTW you need to get the rust of those routers, it ruins the look.
