Got a new look | blk 996 w/BBS LM's

Got my new shoes a couple days ago... I've always loved the LMs. My question is.. Keep them silver or paint the centers black with a polished lip?

Wow! Your car looks fantastic as is, with the silver wheels. Would look even better dropped down a bit (if the roads in your area aren't too bad of course)

my all time favorite wheels, they look perfect on almost any euro car!

Keep em silver too, LMs are not the kind of wheel you would paint.

Car looks great Jon...makes me want to put my new wheels on now even with snow comin' soon!! I guess you'll be garaging it for the NYC winter soon!?

Just came back from LA last wknd and seems like all the black cars are rollin' on black wheels/polished lips. I was even contemplating getting black faced wheels on my silver cab...
but like others said...LM's are classics...keep them silver.
