Techart Wheel Opinion

Hey Folks,

Looking for new wheels to replace the OEM ones on my 2002 996 4S and have narrowed it down to either the 19" Techart Formula Silver or Techart Formula GT/GTS.

Would appreciate your opinion on which ones would look better on Arctic Silver.

Thanks in advance!

if you have black accents to go with it (tinted windows etc) , i would say the black wheels

but sometimes i like silver cars with siver wheels, it looks clean

Black wheels with a polished lip were played out years ago.

Get 100% black.

I agree with Omar. If you have other black accents on the car it will look fantastic. However, the look of a clean silver wheel on a silver car is always a head turner. These days it seems like doing a completely silver wheel is stepping outside the box since black and color-matched wheels seem to be so popular..lol. My vote is for silver.

Can't go wrong with either choice. My preference is the black.

I'd vote for silver, I agree, black wheels with a polished lip are pretty played out.
