If it's helpful - Vorsteiner in Carbon Graphite on my 997.2. Not quite black, very dark grey, satin with a bit of sparkle in direct sunlight

Aside from liking your forged wheels more than my wheels, I think satin black is the color I am going with, It will be a big enough appearance change to make me think I bought another 997!

Also, thanks for mentioning the tinted windows. Besides looking better, it is necessity down here! What tint did you get?

Absolutely love my 997.1 GT3 wheels in Hyper Silver
But on a C4S (widebody) you need a big spacer for the rear.
I went with a 25mm adapter style that bolts to the hub and the wheel bolts to it.
Perfectly safe.
And a 12mm in the front.

Both spacers are removed when I track the car as my OZ's are a perfect offset.

It really is necessary here and in a bunch of other southern states. Sorry but can't remember what grade of tint I got. I think it was 40% on that car. Could have been 30% but I doubt it since that's getting into ghetto territory. Here's a good site explaining the whole tint issue in case you're not familiar. It also has a "tool" where you can slide back and forth and get a good idea of what each percentage will look like.

As we mentioned throughout our site, window tint darkness is measured by the percent of light that passes through your windows, which is called VLT — visible light transmission.: https://www.tinting-laws.com/tint-darkness-example/
