Not black, but gunmetal do. That deep anthracite with a sheen to it?

Someone on here a while back posted a polar silver car (996 C4S if I recall) with very dark blue wheels, now that looked great in my opinion.

Better than it sounds I promise you!

I guess it also depends on the wheel type. I think that thinner spokes suit the dark look better. Mine has a very dark blue (almost black unless very close) against polar silver. I'm undecided, i am considering a change to GT silver or maybe the darker meteor grey....

I might be biased as my GTR has silver paintwork with dark wheels - but I would say it looks great^^

The silver cars, especially GT/Turbo models look better with a contrast wheel.

Here's mine with a grey (maserati swab) contrast...


and here where the same wheels look almost silver/gold.

I'll be honest, I can't decide whether I like them!
Defo better in the anthracite than the polished.

Strange in that every car I have ever had has gone onto aftermarket alloys.......except the C4S.

Initially I intended Sportec or BBS 19s Speedart Fixed Rear wing etc but somehow I just think the car looks right as standard - got any more pics?

I like the look of the GT3 in 911 & Porsche world. Silver with sport classic fuchs (I think)
