Any Pictures of Black Wheels on a Midnight Blue 997?

I'm probably crazy to think about doing this, but I have an affinity for black wheels.. and now I'm wondering if they'll work on my midnight blue 997 S. Having a hard time finding pictures though... so any help would be appreciated.

Wait maybe there's a reason no pictures exist...

black & blue

I can't tell you how many times I've debated the same thing on my car. I even went as far as photoshopping black centres with colour keyed rims. Not sure if it was the result of a bad photoshop but the rims got big thumbs down!

Let me know if you want to see them.

LOL. This is funny. I did the same thing and thought "it's just a bad photoshop job, the wheels will look GREAT in reality".

In my opinion Black on Blue is a bad idea. How about getting some wheels with polished lips and painting the Center Blue like the car?

Right on with that. Midnight blue (awesome color, btw) definitely needs silver.

I've thought of this too. Saw one at Newport Porsche, though I think it was Lapis and not Midnight, given that there wasn't any purple hue in the color like Midnight.

Here are two shots I took with my iPhone:
