Default Would love some opinions on Wheel Color. (pics)

Never mind - taking the car in a different direction. PM me if you are interested in buying these wheels/tires.

Hey guys, would love your input. As you know, I chose to go matte black with gloss black on my wheels for the 964. My opinions are this; in person, the black wheels look great, especially as the sun is going down or on an overcast day. In the sun, they kind of disappear in the darkness and shadows. I am still undecided on changing the color, but I want to slightly adjust the offsets (buy new lips/barrels) so if I am going to change the color, now would be the time (well, over this winter). The car will be Miami Blue. I am leaning towards going matte silver over matte silver to give the wheels some punch. The bolts would stay black. Below are some pictures of my car/wheels, Miami blue, and the matte silver/silver finish I am referring to. Would love all opinions.

Or polished lip with silver center, etc.

On to the pics…

My wheels as they are:

In case someone doesn’t know what Miami Blue looks like.



And the silver finish of the wheels. I feel like this color would really pop against Miami, especially with the depth and design of the Rotiform SIX wheels.



Thanks for sharing your opinions! Mr. Wolfe

Or stay black or a more classic silver. Undecided! All opinions welcome.

Black centers with a silver or polished lip/rim.

All matte silver or possibly what you have with a matte silver lip. Not a fan of all black. Do you know anyone familiar with photoshop?

Thanks guys. I am not a big fan of high contrasting wheels (black wheel with polished lip or silver center with black lip). I don't mind a polished lip as long as the face is silver, light gunmetal, or bronze.

I'm digging this Evo Grey with Casper clear. Gives it a really "cool-tone" grey that may look great with Miami Blue. Thoughts?

Gorgeous wheels and car! I would have them painted the same color as your car or silver. Anything other than black really.

The silver Rotiform would look great.

If you have a WB car with NB rear trailing arms and are interested in these wheels/tires, please send me a PM. Thanks.

I'm becoming partial to the darker bronze look, which I think would compliment the blue you'll wrap the car with.
