Basalt Metallic is a real chameleon, depending on the light...

Wow - that looks great. I am about to pick up a BBM 997 and after seeing all the gloss black cars with black rims, I started second guessing myself. Not anymore!

I really like your C4GTS rims. The silver rim on my OEM 997GTS wheels has always bugged me (a little). Did you refinish yours, or are they non-OEM?

They are OZ Ultraleggera HLT Centerlocks.... I saw another GTS owner had them as his winter set and I liked them so i bought them and changed the centerlock to black. I stored my oem rims away.

Rims are usually my first mod too, just to differentiate my 997 from all the other 997's out there.
