Looking for a new look instead of the Carrera Classics on my .2 C2S. Narrowed it down to a few different ones from Vorsteiner just want some opinions of how the carbon graphite would look in person on a black 997. Most pictures I find are on the 991 which look great to me. Any thoughts?

V-FF 101 Carbon Graphite (leaning towards these)
V-FF 106 Carbon Graphite
V-FF 101 Silver
All a matter of how much contrast you can stand. In your pictures you're all the way from full silver contrast to the dark graphite which looks close to matching the black paint on your car. My Forgelines are "midnight silver" which is just about half way between black and silver. Works for me. Not the stark contrast of silver against black and not the blend in effect with really dark wheels on a black car.
Fully Polished is also coming back in. HRE just added the fully polished finish option again to a lit of their wheels. I have the fully polished and clear powdercoated (no finish maintenance) Champion RS171s for sale in the marketplace. With the silver metallic that's in the basalt color, a brighter wheel will bring that out more.
For a Basalt Black 997 any charcoal or gunmetal-like gray finish would get my vote. We have all the Vorsteiner finishes in our showroom and the Carbon Graphite by far gets the most looks. That would be my vote hands down.
Below is HRE's P101 in Brushed Dark Clear

My vote would be Fuchs such as the ones in this picture. They look absolutely incredible in person, especially on a Basalt Black 997.2. My brother took this photo with a link below to the full shoot. https://www.thomasclassics.com/vehic...oh-id-21679721

I'm a fan of gold, copper, and similar colors, especially on dark cars. I went with a brushed champagne, gloss finish on my car. It's not too gold, but it definitely has some gold in it. I think anything in the gold range would look great on your car, and it would be unique.
Yeah, those a super, duper nice. Not sure that color would be best on black, but it would look better than 99% of the wheels out there regardless of color. I also like Sandwedge's car and wheels a whole lot. That car is classic bad ****.
