Painted Carrera S wheels question

I have a 08 Boxster S on order. Meteor Gray w/Black full Leather

Question is... I ordered 19" Carrera S wheels and I am trying to imagine how Black or Meteor Gray painted wheels would look. Anyone out there have any photos of this color combo? Otherwise, I'm thinking the standard chrome look is probably best. Any opinions out there???

Thanks

Seal Grey Carrera S Wheels

I really like the color matched wheels on my BS. Obviously this des not work for Speed Yellow. One advantage is the brake dust is not as noticable on the standard aluminum painted wheels. Meteor Grey would give a meaner look, IMO.

Thanks for the reply..
I thought it would look cool too, but I'd like to see a photo of one first.
I would think someone has a photo of this color combo or at least some website that would show this combo?

By the way Cab S,
were you saying that you have a seal gray Boxster S with color matching carrera s wheel? If so, do you have any pictures?? I have a '03 BS in Seal Gray and love the color...get a lot of compliments on it. I have the chrome Turbo wheel of that year too..
looking forward to the new '08 model though....

Ahem...I am pretty illiterate with posting pix. I'll get some help when I return from skiing.My body shop guy really complimented the look. He charged $600 to paint and refinish the wheels. I had some minor wheel rash, but now they look perfect. anyone know how this is done? They look new.
