    Any photo's of Arctic Silver body with black wheels?

    Thinking I may want to put some black wheels on my soon to arrive 997S Cab, but I'm afraid the black may be overpowering with a light color like my Arctic Silver.

    I hope somebody has or know's of photo's of this setup they can post here? Thanks in advance!

    Can somebody tell Porsche to get rid of those indicators/fogs on the bleeding bumper - it still jarring to look at after it's been out for best part of a year, just can't get used to it IMO.

    However, with the exception of the 996, that's where they've been for the best part of 40 years.

    Long may they remain there (IMO).

    gnil,

    Thanks for the photo! That car is totally hot for sure!!!

    If anybody knows of more photo's please don't hesitate to post them, especially ones on a more stock platform without the body kit and such.

    Silver on black rims without an aero kit looks "trying hard" to me. IMO.

    Agree!


    Further, IMO- 99.9% of the time stock looks best! A car starts to look dated after a while when you add after- market. Stock will always look nice/ clean and classy.

    Thank you for those unsolicited and slightly off topic opinions guys. Remember that old saying if you don't have something nice to say...;)

    aww we're just having a little fun.

    personally i love the way porsche paints their rims OEM. they always leave a little lip, looks great imo.

    gotta have flat black paint and not shinny though

    Re: Any photo's of Arctic Silver body with black wheels?

    Yeah, I think it looks pretty good in some colors- I kinda like the Blk wheels with Guards Red and the kit; Yellow with Blk wheels is nice too from what I've seen!

    BTW: LOL, your new avatar is cool, but the old one was one of the best!
