you look at my pic, you will see what dull looks..... rims not washed.. no shine
don't look like much.

Had it not been for the car included in the links below, I would have never considered going gun metal. But boy is she pretty, albeit a 987 on 19's.

I considered matte black wheels to contrast the soft top. Decisions, decisions.. Personally, I am a fan of gloss black. I might go ahead and have the finishing changed to gun metal and if I dislike the way it looks, have it powdercoated to gloss black. Only time will tell!

I like option 3 with the gloss wheels.
That makes two of us! Thank you for your input.
