yeah yeah yeah ^^^^^^^^^
gratuatious look at my lovely motor thread haha only joking pal...
kind of see what you mean with the smoked chrome,imho turbo alloys look best in plain old carrera silver.
on your colour car gunmetal grey would look good & for an individual twist you could leave the dished out part between the spokes in chrome but i think i'd be tempted to just go for silver,like i said it suits the wheels perfectly.
or if you're feeling a bit of an early 90's revival you could do the posrche option of wheels painted in exterior colour,just a thought!
edited just to ask the colour of the car?
on my screen it looks light metalic blue but now i'm not sure as the chrome wheels make it look darker? is it silver?

ahhh well if it's polar silver then i'd go with guards red for the wheels with red Turbo script along the sills,stick some mobil pegasus triangles on the front wings & big b
d ala james dean on the rear panel, you're all set for le mans then haha
in fact for added comedy value have a driver name on doors,james dean would look a bit naff so how about dame jean?
.......or maybe not eh?! yeah i'm going for orig silver finsh, polar silver looks great & with the aero kit it really doesn't need anything else. gorgeous car mate

For a change I like the smoked chrome wheels on the silver 997 in this thread:

They can always be redone back in silver in the future

thanks for the imput so far guys (and the nice comments on the car) it's looking like standard silver so far keep the imput coming though please and feel free to say "THEY LOOK HORRID GET THEM PAINTED ASAP" if you wish i'm very thick skinned 
also i like the 2 links posted think the grey with red strip actually looks very good but it's a little bold for me if i do change them it'll be for a standard porka colour just not sure what goes best with the polar, black car i'd say silver, silver car i'd say silver, colbalt blue car i'd say silver i just cant decide with this bloody polar
mates and family wise most say they look nice as is but 3 or 4 of them as soon as they seen the car said the wheels spoil the hole car, i've not done anything about it so far as i've only had the car 7 month or so and 3 of them have been spent locked in the garage while the roads have been salted.

You have upset me, Just because I live down South I/m not a Chav, The wheels are high power silver with a black inner these were repainted by Rimstock, The high power silver I understand is used on the Turbo S wheels.

Speak to you soon

haha not saying your a chav mate just a couple of the lad's said they didnt like them and that's got me thinking i dont like them now. i may well keep them as is, they done one hell of a good job the finish is fantastic, had a turbo s in work the other day and they look a totally different colour side by side.
just wanted fellow porka boy's views.
gis a bell when you know anymore about you know what
hope your well
