Silver or Black Wheels - Help my indecisiveness
#17

I might be a bit biased. For the OEM wheel my personal preference is black, but must be piano black (high gloss), not matte or satin. The original spec on my car was white wheels, which were repainted. Silver is fine, but I feel that was more fitting for the 996. If going to a BBS RE or E88, E07 obviously silver, gold, weiBgold and chrome look fantastic.

I like black or gun-metal wheels on white and silver cars, but silver/grey wheels on most colors.
Recently changed wheels on some of my other cars and it can be pretty fun to "try a new look".
I painted my stock wheels satin black on my white .2 but it does have a little different look with the grey center-locks. I matched the texture and color to the GT3 badge, people love them, but I am kind of thinking about going back to stock just for a new look.
Also considering a dark bronze. I ordered a 'winter' set for my Corolla that are dark bronze and they look really good with white see below. This color really looks good in person, and I would have them color-matched.
