I'd like them better if the centers were black.

yea.. black center caps would be really nice - you could try plastidip and just peel it off it you don't like it

How do you like the Ohlins so far? I just ordered a set and will be installing them in a couple weeks ahead of my next track day. Have wanted a set for many, many years.

If someone can guide me to post photo from my I phone i can share my 'custom' Fuchs on black C2 to give you an idea. I am so e-technically, inept at times....

when you go to make a post you should see all the little icons above, one of them lets you add a picture - the icons that let you make "bold" letters etc

I drive my car on the street its not a track rat (yet), and I love them, way better then shocks/springs, I kind of wonder what these cars are like with air ride, but I don't know anyone local that has that

I was thinking if the front wheel spokes were inset more like the rear wheels they would look better.
But not my taste but to each his own and glad you like em.

Super subjective. You'll probably get a different color idea for each response you get. For me, some kind of gun metal variation looks best on a black car. Silver (never mind chrome) is too much contrast for me and black wheels on a black car just turns the whole car into a black hole and feels like a fad that I doubt will stand the test of time.

I am a HUGE fan of high polish look

between the gold centers there are also black sections and I think they look best like that, but maybe everything that's gold on the wheel (other then center cap - either Porsche or black) in high polish would be nice

feel free to photoshop , I love off colors too . everything goes with black haha
