Cup 1 wheels on my black 964 C2... paint them black?

[kiesan]

What do you guys think? I just got some 7" and 9" Cup 1's for my black '92 C2. One of the rears needs to be painted. I could just re-paint that 1 and be happy or what about going satin black on the set? Too Darth Vader or does it look OK? Anyone have a pic of a black 964 with black Cup 1's?

Not a big fan of the look, but it does look mean.

I was thinking of doing the same but will probably settle on doing the wheels in a seal grey / dark silver as opposed to the brighter silver as they came out painted new....

I'm not a big fan of the dark wheels on a dark car...IMHO

...but Black wheels on a orange 2003 GT3....suits me.

[Oh Haha]

Here is my SC with Graphite colored Cups(16's).
I recently changed back to silver. I like the "stock" look better than the stealth. How is a Porsche stealthy anyway?!

[Oh Haha]

Here she is back to silver.
Much better.

Did somebody say black?

Black wheels on a black looks great

I am having the same thoughts...But rather than all black, my thoughts are to anodize black satin finish on the spokes and leave the rim portion silver. I've seen the results, and in my opinion, its the best look for a cup wheel.

to this is the best argument FOR the all-black look

What kind of tail is that on the black 993???
Ive been looking for one like that. It kinda looks like a supercup tail, but it doesnt have the air inlet scoops on the side.

Is this the look you are after? I painted them a few years back. Pretty easy to DIY.

This is the look I was refering to. Only black satin anodized spokes instead of grey. Looks good in grey as well!
