Here you go. Not too great, but you get the idea. It's very difficult to do flat black and glossy black. Hope this works. Do the glossy black...I did, and loved them!!!

cool thanks
i've had the same gp white fuchs since i bought it, i've been thinking of going to black centers......

my targa bar is (was when i got it) painted glossy black so it may match good.
i've been tinkering with the color in photoshop....i think i figured out how to do it...need one more try

I like the black centers better...
I was just in Laguna Beach for a few days.... saw lots of chrome wheels...is that an LA thing? Seems like in many places black wheels are the current thing to have.

Hey, do a search for "lfot". Not to belittle anyone else's white 911, but I think Derek (lfot) has one of the nicest looking white 911's on this board. The wheels on his car are the SC finish 17" Rota's.

If you'd like, look in my signature and check my pics. I have my stock wheels (also color coded to GPW) in storage, and now have gloss black centers and polished lips from Rota. I thought I would paint the Rotas' centers GPW too, but I'm really liking the gloss black centers now.

Dang that looks good!!! I've always liked color-coded wheels, especially GPW fuchs, but the black centers really do look great! Post some pics when you're done
