    Any pics of 997 with black wheels?

    saw a black 997S with black wheels (Porsche crest in the middle, regular red brake calipers) in Beverly Hills yesterday and it looked fantastic!!!

    I wonder what it would look like with the yellow PCCBs? does anyone know if they were ordered this way or was it painted aftermarket? thanks!!!

    You could certainly order it with the wheels painted black. However I can assure you that it is much cheaper to do it afterwards.

    Re: Any pics of 997 with black wheels?

    thanks. i'm wondering if it's available on all the designs or specific one's. don't have a dealer yet. it looked so good -- especially with the black. living in west la i see probably two dozen 997s a day and think this is the first one i've seen (or at least in a long time).

    i remember there was some pics of the 997TT with black wheels that look great.

    Re: Any pics of 997 with black wheels?

    why do the Porsche black wheels have a silver outline rim ? is it to avoid kerbing the black painted sections. noted some cars with the whole wheel black.

    One reason is that it's a nice reference to earlier years... .

    If you order factory painted-wheel option XD9, the outer rim will be silver..as below ...personally I like the style shown in the Gnil pic-- if you're going to go with black wheels, it looks better imho if the entire wheel is painted black.

    thanks Damian! i agree! IMHO, the all black wheel looks better with the black 997 than wheels with the silver ring around the rim.

    does anyone know where i could get that done that would match the Porsche factory black or should i get the entire wheel done that way from somewhere else? thanks.

    Gil - they look cool. I tried to order my sport designs from the factory in black last year, but they wouldn't do it. I guess these were powder coated after? It looks like a clean job too - paint doesnt look too thick

    Re: Any pics of 997 with black wheels?

    Hey guys,

    I have a black 997s just like that pic of one... with the black wheels from the factory. I've ordered black Avus AF-MO2s in 20s with a 4" lip on the rear. Should be in any day (you know how that goes). I may consider selling my factory wheels for the extra garage space, if anyone's interested.

    Re: Any pics of 997 with black wheels?

    Do you wax the black wheels or use something else to keep them shiney? Does anyone have new pics of black Carrera Sport wheels on a black car?
