Thanks guys, the wheels actualy look much better than in the pics. Black wheels are hard to grab with a camera. They either look mat or too shiny. In person, they look great...

Looks great

Looks fantastic.... I would paint calipers something unique... Orange, Light blue etc... or dare I say Yellow. Just love the contrast of a colored caliper on black wheels on a suble colored car.... white, grey, black etc... not as much on a car that is already a color such as yellow, blue, red etc

I got lobsters and I like em.

I like ur's too...especially with the silver. If you repaint em, i'd suggest painting the lip a different color and maybe a pinstripe that matches the calipers if you decide to paint them as well...

i dunno...

nice tho.

Thought about that but I don't want to mess with the original OEM look of these calipers. In a way, I wish i had the C4S red ones...

Whats great about the lobsters is that they are the lightest wheel porsche makes for the 997. Except the forged turbo wheels which I don't really like the look...

Thanks for the pic. I am still undecided on if I like with or without silver lip better.

The wheel will look smaller with a painted lip for some reason ( I've tried it both ways in the past). . Looks bada$$ as is. Try a silver cap on the black wheel, its a different yet cool look imo plus the cap will match the paint and bolts.

Thanks for the suggestion. Actualy, I really like the black center caps. It is my favorite part of the wheel... Maybe one day if I get tired of them.
