Silver hands down! I don't like the black ones at all....I feel they cheapen the look especially on the guards red.

Now to the OP's question: I spent a hell of a lot of time deciding and have black speced on my new one but I like the silver on your car much better.

not with the red.
i know there are a lot of black wheel lovers here and they look great on the Champion's white 911 and on blk cars, but not with this red pcar.
i would go with a silver or pewter and a different wheel in my opinion, i like more of a spoke like wheel like on mine.

I agree wheel color depends on the car color. I just like something a little different about a car ..don't get me wrong, I don't want anything drastic like a wing that belongs on an airplane or stickers on the side, but it's nice to look at your car and KNOW it's yours. To the OP, either color is good as you can tell from the responses. When I went to buy my car off the lot, I almost had them switch the wheels to the "standard" ones. Then, the more I looked at it, the more I liked that my car wasn't like the 30 other 911s on the lot.

I am not a fan of black wheels which resemble a test mule and are FUGLY IMHO.

I love the new Speedster wheels (black with polished rim) as they give such a classic look. Plus, they're made for wide body cars.

it's all depends on what the look of the car you're looking for. If you want the car to look more elegant go with the silver one but if you want the car to look sporty go with the black ones.

But for me if i get to choose between silver and black, i would go for the black ones. i know some people said black wheels you have to go near to see the model/design but it is not that hard in person. However, the one who said black wheels are hard to see is not wrong, silver wheels tends to show the design more in details but it is the look that you have to decide for your car.
