wheel color opinions please

Wheels did not come out as dark as I wanted. On this car, keep them and forget about it! Or shoot for darker more gun metal color, almost black but not quite?

This is the color I got.

The one on the left GT3 Style turbo wheel.

I have satin or flat black GT3 wheels on my seal grey 996 GT3 and was looking for something different. But it is an obvious good choice, I agree. Also had P40's in textured black on the tt.

thanks for your opinion. it is growing on me slowly, just not what I had asked for or imagined. there is also "the law of diminished returns", ie, I get them all four wheels/tires for a re-do and they break a bead on tire from dismount or mount or something else. Not to mention just having to mess with this another go around.

i have the same issue. i ordered forgestar wheels in silver. i was hoping for hyper silver and what i got was more gray. waited 8 weeks for the wheels so i mounted them and installed them. happy? no. but the color is growing on me so ill keep them and maybe next summer redo them

Textured Gunmetal is a pretty popular choice and I think it'll work well with the color of your 996TT. It has a slight matte look to it and will contrast the exterior paint!

It is a nice color and wheel. Playing the waiting game on getting my wheels back. Love me the 5 spokes though.

Can't go wrong with a five spoke design. Forgestar wheels are rotary forged and are extremely strong and light weight as well. Definitely a great choice for anyone who is looking to upgrade!
