Need help deciding
I need help deciding on wheels.

I'm debating painting my sport design black, or going with the black GTS XRR Sport wheels. Need some input from the forum.

1st picture is XRR sport wheels. 2nd - Sport Design in black - 3rd - my stock sport design wheels

none of the above, they all look dated. if i had to chose out of the 3, i would chose the sport wheel #1.

I have the same sport wheels and want to paint them black as well. They are a major pain in the **** to keep clean. Have them on a white 997.2.

If you plan on painting them black keep a silver lip of some description so you see the size of the wheel, otherwise it just totally disappears
