Gunmetal wheels on an Arctic Silver 997?
I've recently picked up an 05 C2S in Arctic Silver and it's got 19 inch Carrera S (lobster fork) wheels. I'm resisting the urge to start modding the bodywork, but one thing I'm considering is powder coating the wheels from Silver to Gunmetal. Porsche offers this as an option on new wheels and calls it Basalt Black Metallic.
Does anyone here have a 997 in Arctic Silver with Gunmetal/Basalt Black Metallic wheels? If you do, please post some photos. I'm just about ready to do it, but it would be good to see what it looks like. I think it would give the car a somewhat meaner look. As it is, the car just looks too stock.

Basalt Black is much different.

From what I saw I am getting silver rims only. There are some rims in graphite silver paint you may look at if you want darker rims. Pure black also looks pretty ugly next to very bright car paint. Almost like black rims on a white car. Brr.

These wheels on my car are gunmetal (maybe close to Diamond Black as they are from BBS) and I am kind of disappointed on the color combination.
