New Wheels are on! (new wheels decision - need some help)
I am on the waiting list for a set of Victor Equipment Innsbruck wheels, but am not certain if I should. I taught myself PaintShop Pro yesterday (sort of) to see what they would look like. The angles are not perfect, but I was trying to get a sense of what they might look like)
Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks. Innsbruck HyperSilver (I find them a bit blingy) Innsbruck Flat Black (was surprised how much I like the aggressiveness) Existing 997 Carrera Classic 5 Spoke

I think the car looks better with silver wheels. in order to go black i think your going to need a thicker spoke wheel to pull it off.

It's a well known fact that Jake and I have the best taste on Reutterwerk so your decision has been made.

I didn't think I would like the black wheel on your car, but as I look at the photo, it's starting to grow on me. Go for the black ones!

Ferg, those dont look all that different than my new to me wheels that I will receive on Tuesday, weather permitting I plan to spray bomb them as soon as they get here, to decide on a color for them to be refinished in...
I am planning to spray them Black, Yellow, Dark Red, and last one leave silver... if there are any other colors you want to see, let me know, I'll pick up the rattle cans tomorrow! My new wheels.. FWIW, I am leaning towards black, or possibly gun metal... but want to see a couple different colors against my medium slate gray car.... |

For anyone keeping track, I should have my wheels back in a week or so... and I can promise they will be something somewhat "different" than your average set of wheels...
Pics will follow.. |

So based on the responses and my wife's ultimatum "if you get black wheels or a wing, I will not get in the car!" I went with silver.
I wonder how long it will take her to figure out they are new...
