I don't know why, but dang near every 996 with Fuchs that I see are the all black ones. What's even the point? The two tone Fuchs wheels just look so much better,

I guess it depends on what era you’re trying to harken back to. Only the earliest 911’s had silver. I think they changed to black with the 2.7 liter in 1974. My 87 3.2 had black Fuchs. My 74 911s had black cookie cutters (not Fuchs).
