not sure the rear OZ offsets you have (I have them on my 987) but you can go +44 effective offset with 19x11 w/295-305 on 997 NB. The fronts if there 8.5’s, about the same, maybe +40-41… of course camber and ride height will play a huge roll..
I’ve have both HLT’s (cayman) and CH-R’s(911)… I had the BBS’s powder coated because I hated their matte finish.. they always felt dirty.. I don’t like black
wheel at all… get those refinished. Mine cost me 800 with tires installed and rebalanced

Another opinion which is pretty much the norm when it comes to subjective matters like colors and style. A different opinion for each post. I agree with Petza that black wheels on a black car is too much black in one package. Needs some contrast or the wheels kind of get lost. Bright silver is too much contrast for me on a black car so what about splitting the difference?
The color of my Forgelines was called "Midnight Silver" when produced. I don't think they offer that color anymore but it's basically what many would just call "gunmetal". Or to keep it simple, a blend of black and silver. Works for me on a black car. Not the blistering contrast of a silver wheel and not the black hole black wheels create on a black car but just enough contrast.

What color did you go with?
I thought about CHRs also. I think those take color better than the ultraleggeras because they have more surface area

all depends of color.. I had mine refinished gloss metallic run of the mill silver… refinished HLT’s would look real good. These are oem finish on the HLT’s

Would you consider rim stripes? Some people say they're played out, but you'll also hear that about black rims, so...
these are also 19" ultraleggeras, and it's lowered
Not trying to be a dick but if you’re asking what needs to be done to your taste but don’t even know what that is, simply just pick one of the million cars of cars here or IG and copy it.
Sorry...that's the "fullest" close up photo I have of any of the wheels. I've attached a photo of the whole car if that'll help you. Should be noted that the car sits on Eibach springs in this photo. On H&R's now so a little lower.
As a side note, please don't let the terrible looking garage floor in the first picture be a reflection of how I take care of things. Finally got tired of repainting it time and again and had it resurfaced professionally with a lifetime warranty.

Same here. Watched part of how it all came together and was amazed at how they did it. Part of it was actually sprinkling the finishing portion by hand followed by some kind of clear coat. How they got the finished product as perfect as they did I'll never know. They weren't the cheapest guys around but they earned their reputation for a reason.
Before and after pictures attached. I think you would have to take a sledge hammer to the new floor to damage it.
