Thanks guys for all the input and photos. I got my turbo from a small high end dealer I have been buying cars from for a few years now (Select Luxury Cars) and Mike the sales guy is the greatest. Anyway I still dont have the car should get it Soon though. One of my last cars was an M3 with black wheels and loved the look. I might go gun metal this time around. Lets see what happens. Thanks again

Call me boring but I love black cars


Gonna go with dark grey metallic/Gun metal wheels myself. "Sinister" look with some added contrast.

Gun metal wheels on black cars is an absolutely beautiful combination... IMHO this combo has a OEM appearance which in my book is a bonus! Meaning, the wheels will be a complement vs. being a distraction.
Pls be sure to post a few pics when it all comes together...JB

Try branch out from the standard black or silver:

That is close to perfection IMO!

Damn Straight!!! These wheels would be awesome in motion, sitting still does them no justice... Some might not like them...but who cares!!! These wheels say "Proud to be Different" Perfect for the car that's a weekend warrior...JB

I too love black cars, so long as none of them are mine.

I really like satin bronze on black. Something like this:

I couldn't be happier with my graphite forgelines. I didn't like how the grey centre lock nut and crest looked so changed these out for black.

Go to www.wheelenhancement.com. Select a wheel, then you can see LOTS of installed pics (including a couple of my past cars).

This combo is what I would do. Only problem is my car is silver. I don't know how it would look with bronze wheels.

Do any of you factor in the color of interior when choosing wheel color? Does it even matter?

To each his own: I personally love the stock rims and kept them as a winter set but for the summer wanted something a little more aggressive looking. I went with a black set that was just a little flatter than the cars paint. I really liked it for a couple months but over time it just looked a little too bland. I added a red lip to the rim that matched the brake calipers and seat belts. 40 bucks and since then i have not driven it without someone commenting how much they like the look. I also bought a second set of center caps that were black and had the traditional Porsche crest with gold and red tones instead of the flat silver and black emblems on the stock center caps. I personally love it but do like taking it back to stock 5 months out of the year. Matches my driving mood - conservative in the winter, exotic / aggressive in the summer.
PS - i did the red lip myself. 4 coats of caliper paint after a couple very light sanding of the lip and looks professionally done from 2 feet, can see a few areas where it has too much or too little coverage from 5 inches. Overall could not like it more and had many owners ask if i was able to get these from the factory.
