Default Zenith Blue wheel color

My wheels need some work and I intend getting the full monty done and thought that the wheels may stand out more in black or a very dark grey.

What do you think?

If anyone has photo's of a Zenith Blue 996 with black wheels then please show me before I commit

I think I would tend to lean towards the black wheels. I would assume their the stock wheels ? What shade of grey are you thinking ? Post a picture if you could.

Just bought some 18" gt3 split rims. I am going to run them until I need to refurbish them and when I do I may do them black and silver.

Wheels looks best when they contrast with the car color. With Zenith Blue, black doesn't have enough contrast. Black wheels look best on a artic silver or speed yellow car. With blue, the stock silver still looks better.

The highest contrast with blue is yellow or red which is why the blue GT-3 has red wheels and graphics.
