I hate black wheels personally. Besides you know you're going to buy an RS soon anyway

Back is getting worse, but I dont know what to do about it. Work is ALL Special forces and they require a full up engineer 24/7 so its hard. GREAT work helping the boys but hard on me.

Bob you know me way too well!! But I have to be honest. This car is now 1 year 4 months. I have not considered getting another. This one is to fun to drive, its 3 cars in one
Normal- Quiet Carrera 2 S
Sport- 997.1 GT3 like
SPort Plus- ruthless track monster.

I like all 3!!

Keep them silver. Black is for track cars.

Sorry about your back OG. I thought it was getting better, hence the move back to 911.

The surgery did work for a year. Now the sciatica is getting worse in my left leg.
Its SO frustrating. I need to go to the best Doc I can find in So Cal.

I might be old... matte black wheels always remind me of those OEM steel wheels in the older days.

However, I do like black wheels with a touch on the lip. For example, I think the following wheel -- Avant Garde's Ruger Classic Gloss Black with Machine Lip -- will look good on your car. Contemporary yet classic.

Regards,

Sorry to hear about your back. Send me an email if you want a referral. I am feeling better that I have in 20 years, but I have been religious about stretching every night and working out.
