Default Pictures of Black twist wheels?

Does anyone have pictures of black twists on a black 986?

If not, could someone do a quick p-shop?

I think it would look good but im not 100% sure yet.

thanks!

I have 18" Twist wheels on my 2000 Boxster, 8x18 w/225/40-18 and 10x18 w/285/30-18. I only found one picture with the Boxster in it, and the wheels aren't showing good, but you can get an idea. It looks great. By the way, i painted the wheel centers and spokes black, and the outer rim lip silver, looks great!

I want to do the same thing to my 18" twists...I think the
black wheels on the red Boxster would look great.

+1 on the close-up request

I bought one spray can with primer, one with black and one with silver, a total of 15 Dollars. I already had the sand paper. The result is OK, but not like a professional powder coating.
I first painted the inside black, and then the outside. I used masking tape to cover up everything but the outer rim lip, and sprayed that with silver. I should have done a clear coat over everything, but...
So for $15 I got wheels with a $1,500 look! Well, nearly...

Fly,

do you have a upclose picture of your wheels? I stripped down the wheels and primed it up still debating on the color. It used to have the cancerous-looking chrome on 18".

Black looks sweet on a black car. Paint them up!
