To black or not to black that is the question

[EJ911]

Help me choose



I have decided to get my wheels refurbished booked up to have them done as silver but am now tempted to change to black after seeing some but is this to boy racer for a mid life crisis, OMG second childhood and all that I can't decide.

What do you think will it make it harder to sell when I come to it?

Sorry for the rubbish pics taken quickly on my phone


also had the suggestion of grey

[RedSpiseeBalls]

Black wheels.

[kustard]

You know what they say - once you go black.....

[mollytherocker]

Please dont black the windows though...so naff.

Black wheels can be good on a car which is not black or dark imo. Black/black is not a good look.

You could always do the spokes black and leave the outers silver.

Silver. Black would look godawful, cheap and tacky.

Correct. I've seen some gorgeous Orange Caymans with black wheels, but I wouldn't do it on a black car.

based on porsche drivers i've seen, if they spent as much time and energy thinking over what they're wearing walking out the door every morning, they'd have a lot more fun than any porsche can provide.
go with whatever makes u feel better. no one's going to care which way or the other. it's not like you're going for pinnk.

As above - leave the black rims for cars with lighter colours.

Silver gets my vote.

[johnycarrera]

'is ok on BMW innit cuz


Not on your Porsche sir!

[Durzel]

Silver for me, it's a nice contrast.

You could go gunmetal as a halfway house?

[PGN 500sl]

Silver gets my vote too.

[jayplay28]

how about a black /shadow chrome finish?? Black base then silver sprayed on top to give a shadow effect



or perhaps something like this

I love your car as it is, I would leave it as stock.

[Scelto]

I like black-on-black (calm down at the back there!), but it really is a personal choice.

I've got a silver set for my summer tyres and a black set for my winter / future track day set. I even got the black bolts to go with them

It's another one of those "do what YOU like" threads though.
