Wheel decisions for basalt black

Wheel decisions for basalt black
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?

I almost went with carbon graphite 101s on my car but thought it would be too dark. I saw the same look on an OEM acura and could not unsee it. Silver/contrasting wheels are back in so I went with silver wheels instead. That lighter graphite above is nice.

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.

Thanks! I originally considered a bronze finish, but they were generally too dark against the brown paint. I wanted them to "pop" a little bit. I think the OP's Basalt Black car would look great with gold wheels.

Since many members here recommend gold color for your 997

BBS CHR's and HRE P101's look great.

Some form of graphite gets my vote. Just light enough for some contrast and visual interest, but just dark enough for it to look mean. I've been considering the Vorsteiner 101s for my black car, too...
