2005 997.1 Black Wheels

Hi All,

I am looking to refurbish my OE 997.1 wheel rims.

Looking for opinions as to OE Silver, Black Gloss (with clear coat), Black Satin (with clear coat), Black Matt (with clear coat)?

Thank you all for you input. Also, any pictures of refurb wheels is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Bob

Anything but black. You lose all the wheel detail in the dark wheelwells.

What color is your car? If you're going to put them back on the car, you could even consider something even fancier - like the gold ones that folks go for

Not sure I agree, I think it depends on the setup, and lowering springs.
