Default Post photos of your Dark Blue Metallic DBM 991

Hi All, I wanted to create a thread specifically for Dark Blue Metallic 991s. Please post pictures of your car if you own this colour. Selfishly, I want to see how different OEM rim combinations look against DBM.

I have 19's and want to upgrade to OEM 20's eventually, but not certain which used wheels to specifically to go after. Love the sport technos, was wondering if painted in black would clash against the blue or work well?

Anyways, let's see what you've got. Here's a couple pics of my C4 to kick off.

Shake: love the C4 w/ the 19s. Think they look great. If the 19s weren't nearly the same weight as my C2S rims I'd consider switching for the slightly improved ride compliance of 19s vs. 20s.

Have you looked at the new HRE FF04? Seems like they're priced well if you're looking for an aftermarket rim that has some OEM like looks.

Here's a picture of mine I've previously posted. The centerlocks don't really help with your decision, but I think wheels in satin platinum work really well with DBM.

Ok, it's a 981 (GTS) and not a 991, so let me know if you want me to delete the post - but it's the same DBM as a 991, so it seemed relevant. Wheels are platinum satin.

Default NBM GTS

Just picked up my NBM GTS on the weekend. I think the black wheels with the blue looks great! Sorry the second photo is so dark.

As mentioned the FF04's are definitely something to consider. You get HRE's legendary build quality in a lightweight and affordable wheel that doesn't deviate too far from an OEM look.

I have some photos of it on a 991 albeit not in the DBM as requested. I can PM you them if you'd like.
