For me, from a distance, the black wheels remind me of folks who lose a hubcap and don't replace them  Like you mentioned, it looks dull and dark. If there is a polished lip, that helps but otherwise, the tire and the rim become one. Personally, I like silver, especially on a blue car, of course that is what I have  Take a look at this thread for lots of ideas:

These look good imo, not too much black and just enough silver

I totally agree with BruceH. The wheel gets lost in with the tire and wheel well all being the same. The Boxster is a fairly plain car and the wheels are one area where you can really liven things up. Bright silver or white (with polished accents) would be my choice. But as pointed out you are the final arbiter of that decision. Do post us pics of what you decided on as it is always interesting to see what others do, and, as you pointed out, make suggestions that you hadn't thought about or even knew existed. Have fun.

Cheers Bruce
You are right. It just blends in to one and looks like a black mess. Can't see what wheels they are from afar. I will check the link
