I know the whole black and chrome black and polished look is a bit cliche, however i think it would look great against my seal gray. The gold bolts from arp will also set it off. What do you guys think? Any other color you guys think might look good?

No black with polished/chrome lips! You have the most desirable color, don't eff it up.

i didnt get to mount the wheels on the car yet. but heres a sneak peak.
high gloss black center. dark gunmetal lip.chrome bolts. im debating between my chrome or my black lug nuts.

the lips looks different in person. theyve got a pearly effect and get get real glossy/shiny at night.

btw, tires are Nokian WR winter tires. cant wait to ride on the i-95 during a blizzard.

couple more pics.

tire size is 235/295
996 offsets which means the rear wheels should be oh-so-close to the fender on a 997.

I wound up staying with the 19's cause they are relatively lightweight and the savings wouldn't be all that much. Front 19lbs, Rear 23lbs. I emailed FUCHS and they finally got back to me.
