Twist Wheel Paint
Has anyone seen, or have pictures, of repainted twist wheels. I have a arctic silver boxster, and am considering painting the inside (twist) a semigloss black, and keep the outer rim the silver color. The previous owner was good friends with a curb, so some of the rash needs to be fixed anyway, and I am debating the paint color.

I have seen completely painted black turbo twist or technology wheels and I like the look especially on silvers/whites, etc. I have not seen just the twist painted with silver on the outer rim. I don't think I would like it just by trying to picture it.
I do like the current 997 Carrera S wheels (some call them lobster claws) painted black on the arms and silver on the outer rim.
Just another guy's opinion.
