Default Meteor-grey with black or anthracite rims

Hi,

I'm looking into getting new rims. I'm undecided between black or anthracite.
My car is meteor-grey
I was wondering if someone with either of this color combo could post a picture to help me with my decision process

Not Meteor Grey car or Anthracite but close on the wheel color. I had these rims powder-coated matte charcoal and to me they're a perfect fit and unique. I think your choice in Anthracite would look sweet on your car!

Here is my car (Meteor Grey) with dark grey wheels, that end up looking black from certain angles or if the brake dust gets outta control





Here is a more recent one with light grey OZ Superforgiata. I much prefer the lighter look, which was a surprise to me.

This combo is GORGEOUS!!! I love it. I am hoping to have a 997 in this color in the not too distant future as a personal car. ***EDIT*** - I just can't stop looking at it. Just noticed the center-locks... damn sexy.

I really like the classic Fuchs style. I've never been a fan of dark wheels though. They always remind me of old black steel wheels that have lost their hubcaps. That said, the above examples look really nice.

Prefer the silver/grey, especially with the clear corner lights. To each their own though.
