Those do look nice. Please post pics of them on your car. All these recent pics of p-cars with black wheels has got me itching to powder-coat mine.

yea i know this guy that has the new hideous subaru sti, it looks so weak until he got some powdercoated wheels, and now its an intimidating machine. i hope these wheels arent overkill though as my baby is already black with tinted windows. at least the mustard interior will set it off i think. I should have pics tomorrow evening.

yea, im thinking carbon fiber hood and side view mirrors now??? opinions? and maybe lowering it, depending on the fitment of the wheels. Joel, are those yellow calipers original? they look sexy. i have the standard steel ones. I dont want a spoiler though, i love the 911's natural sloped rear.

I like the look of the wheels. I also like your car Joel. I have those same 996 Carrera S wheels in a gloss back sitting in my garage. I can't decide whether or not I should keep them now that I have a new set of wheels. Not to jack this thread but what size tires are you using Joel?

If you really want them black just get the plastic black covers.

Except the plastic covers tend to fly off at speed.

With black wheels you will want to paint the hat's black. You should have the lugs powder coated black as well.

Word up to the black wheel gang!
