I have Black on my speed yellow Boxster and they look fantastic, but due to the law changing with reference to smoked/tinted rear light clusters I'm going to have to change them back over to the original lights, so I've got myself another set of Boxster wheels and had the refurbished in a chrome (not in your face chrome) finish.
Don't want to change them but I will be doing it soon, I will post some before and after shots when done. in the mean time I just put them alongside my black wheels and took these photos.





I did think about having them done in a grey colour as that looks smart.

Note :-
I'm also in the process of painting up some center caps to go whit the new wheels.

I should have been more clear...

The stock rims are TEMPORARY until my rims come back from refinishing. The car sits in the garage and is not driven with the stockies on it.

And yes, I agree that the car looks goofy with 17" stock rims on it.

Cheers
