I like them, but more a fan of anthracite/gun metal than black. With black wheels I feel that the wheel and tire all blend in and it's hard to see contrast and definition of the beautiful wheel you paid for. With the anthracite/gun metal, you still get a dark wheel but the awesome contrast as well.

I have yet to see these on another boxster, but I highly recommend them. They look good when they're clean or dirty.... Brake dust doesn't make them look like ****************.

On a silver, grey, or black car (geraintthomas's in particular) I like the anthracite, but for a white car I definitely prefer the matte black. White with fat black concaves. My 20s are a bit bigger and heavier than I would prefer, but I still love them (they came with the car).
