    what color combo do you prefer on a 987?
    You may choose only one




    Nah, sorry, I would want the front wheels and the back wheels painted the same. It looks silly having the front ones black and the rear ones silver.

    Painting the spokes there you cannot get any clear definition between the spoke and the rim is a no-no, never look right. Either keep them as they are , get them polished or chnage to a split rim design

    You can get this look after a couple days at the track (and not cleaning off the brake dust)

    I love black rims on black cars but find the sports design too "busy" for coloring. Other wheel designs work better for painting, imho.

    Sorry, I don't like the rims. Black or not.
    I've never liked multi-spoke rims, they dont look as cool and raw as 5-spoke rims IMO.
    Get the new 987/997 5-spoke CarreraS rims. Coolest rims on the planet!

    Re: which wheel looks better

    I have the solution.

    Put the Black rims on the passengers side.
    Put the Silver rims on the drivers side.

    Thay way you have both "street" and "sport" looks!

    Why didn't I think of that, MUCH better than having black on the front and silver on the back
