Any seal gray cars with aftermarket wheels?

Love to see some pictures. I'm trying to decide if some gunmetal colored aftermarket wheels would look good...

Thanks!

Thanks!

Has anyone had the stock non-s wheels powdercoated? Be awesome to see some pictures of those as well.

Or do we have any photoshoppers here?

I like darker wheels because well, every car out there pretty much comes with silver wheels, and darker wheels don't show brake dust as easily, so I don't have to clean them often. Here's my silver car with gunmetal wheels...


And a Turbo with gray painted stock wheels...

I painted my stock wheels a couple of years ago Artic Silver like my car. I have had a number of Porsche people tell me something was different but looked good , but couldn't put their finger on it. Discreet but tasteful. Ed

I still can't decide if I want to go dark (gunmetal) or body color gray...

any seal grays with dark wheels and no polished lip out there?
