Here is a picture from behind. It was a tough decision for me also, but after a little more than a year without doing anything to my car it was time for some kind of change.

looks better in black, the only downside this is one of the nicest wheels made for the 997 in my opinion and you cant really appreciate it as much in black even though it fits the car better, if that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense, you cant see the true spoke design like in the bright silver, still looks so good though!

Thanks guys for the compliments. I know what you mean, in that you can't see the same detail with the black centers, but it does give it more of a modified, unstock, mean look.

Problem with black is you can't see the details of the wheel anymore. Having said that, it looks good on your wheel because of the open design.
