Default Custom finished twists (picture thread)

I have a spare set of twists I'm going to have powdercoated. I currently have twists in the darker S color on the car. I'm thinking of going with an OEM finish and possibly gloss black inner barrel to give more contrast.

If you have a custom color or style to recommend please post up a picture.
Thanks
Shawn

What color is the car? That would help us with coming up with colors that may contrast well.

Believe it or not, white wheels look great on a white car...

I know this isn't a 996 and these aren't twists, but how about doing something like this




Or add some color to it like the 996 GT3RS did

+1. Perfect contrast with the black tire in between the white rims and body.

I have always liked metallic dark charcoal grey wheels on white cars.

Thanks. Yea I'm looking for colors not too many Carrara white turbos around. The current S wheels are a little darker but I'm afraid if I go too dark I'll loose contour and wheel definition. I had wrinkle black wheels before that I loved but in photos looks very bland despite their lip.
