Black wheels for the Cayman?


Can anyone recommend black wheels to compliment a standard black Cayman. 18 or 19s are fine. I am just looking for something understated and preferably light. Brand is unimportant but I do not want to go too 'cheap'.


Any suggestions from you guys and gals?

I personally don't like the look of black wheels on a black car, but Work Wheels are a favorite of mine. They can customize the wheel to your liking.

You have a point. My thought was togo for a more performance, business-orientated look. Do you think black on black will look too 'aftermarket'?


Works wheels are beautiful.....but pricey![img]/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/cry_smile.gif[/img]

I love the RGT's and they look amazing on your SY. They also look great on the Red. I am a big fan of BBS wheels. They make a quality product. I am just starting to re-think the black on black. I guess I need to see more pics.

Thanks for posting your ideas guys. I appreciate it. The black Forgelines, BBS, and HRE are on top of my list. I just need to decide if I want to go black on black. Those pics of the Blk on Blk Carrera look great though. Decisions...Decisions...Uhm?

Joshb.... What is the paint job setting you back? Are you taking them to a local paint shop?


Thanks,


Glenn

Josh,

If you don't mind me asking - where did you take them to get painted, dealer, bodyshop, painter etc and how much did it cost you?



Please post pics when you have them. Mine is also Black/Tan and I would love to see how it will look with the black wheels on it!

Thx
