No kidding? I didn't know that. Sweet.

Oh, and the black wheels look pimp. I bet the car looks good even with the top up. The black and black.

I love the Black wheels look

Did you paint those wheels yourself? I'm looking to buy some black wheels if I don't end up selling my Boxster S.

Thumbs up

dj-

really like it. can't wait to see the tires shined once the paint is fully cured. definitely will look better the dull tires and understand your patience to wait for the full cure.

makes your 17's looks like 18's!

I'm now wondering how my 18 turbo twists would look in black on seal gray/black car???

Jeff

I'll have to admit, I was not the biggest fan of lace look wheels (not just yours but in general), but those look frickin awesome. Dj, I think you were the one that photoshopped my 17" boxster rims black for me so I could see what it would look like on my seal grey. I am definitely doing mine now. What kind of paint did you use? BTW, are those 17" or 18" rims. I am just a little worried that the black will make the wheels/rims appear smaller than the current silver.
