I decided to do my wheels myself, and I had seen an all white car with all black wheels so I wanted to try that. The specks on the wheel are from the camera not the paint. Tell me what you think, be honest. Before and after

Looks like the spare steel wheel that comes with an old Buick

Might work depending o the tire choice and color of the car.

For all black wheels to look good you have to have all the right elements in place. Personally, they need to be a large diameter wheel, wide, big openings to see nice big brakes, with a nice fresh set of rubber on them.

Paint looks good. What kind did you use? I might have left the rim polished.

I also did mine in all black. I needed a change from silver. Now it is meaner and faster.

Yes they are black but unless my eyes are playing tricks on me those are "Black Chrome" which is quiet different from the out of boxe all black wheels you see most often on 944s.Btw nice Cup II they look sharp on your S2.

It's just gloss black. It is reflecting the bright sky kinda making it look like black chrome.

Sounds good. Remember, once you go black, you'll never go back....

Marko,
Still looking good, one of these days I'm going to talk you out of the cab!
PS, the two sets of seats that I bought from you are holding up great, thank you.
