I was excited to put the first set of the new 997 TT wheels sold in the U.S. on my new C4s Cab. Many of you have seen pictures of my car on other threads.

It's not that I don't like the wheels, but here is the problem. Porsche elected to paint the inner wheels a dark grey color. This looks great on every color but black. As you can see, I have a basalt black C4s. I really didn't realize I had a problem until I put the wheels on the car. It simply looks like a mis-match. Besides the color issue, the wheel design is actually really nice.

So, now what do I do? Friends are telling me to have the wheels "chromed" and they will look great! It will dramatically change the look of the wheel. It could actually look really nice. Option 2 is painting the inner wheel basalt black to match the car. Option 3 is to sell the wheels and start over. Option 4 is do nothing. I only have 500 miles on the wheels.

What would you do?

See my thread on the 997 Forum on this issue.

I see nothing wrong with the wheels - I think they look great as is. In fact, I think chrome would be a downgrade!

If it's a problem, the pictures don't show it. I'd leave it alone. AS

I have a Black 997TT and think the wheels look great! Leave them.

I'm not a fan of those wheels, but I think they look great on your car. Don't sweat it, your car is beautiful.

I'm not a big fan of chrome, unless it's on a '57 caddy.

I also don't see any problem (with the pic you posted)...perhaps a close-up shot will help see the issue otherwise I would keep it as is. I would definately NOT chrome them.

Have the inserts painted the color of your car, will look great.

I think your wheels look perfect on your car.
