Cool thanks! No problem..

Go with the black / bronze look. I think it would look sharp!

I really like the white....

especially on a red or blue car. But black works as well!!

Never been a fan of black wheels? what's the point of a bling wheel if it blends into the background/tire?

here are gunmetal grey wheels on my previous black 996TT... i really liked the color, not black but dark enough so it gives it some contrast.

GT3RS Orange or Bronze, break away from anything else out there. The white looks surprisingly nice on your black 996TT

I think the dark colors just clash with the car, in my opinion the White just jumps out and looks better/different.

my thoughts exactly, although I love black wheels, it seems everyone is going the same route, hence why I am trying to shy away from black.

bronze looks amazing since it fits with most color cars, definitely one of my choices

sometimes I look at the car and I say wow it looks great, but other times I look at it and think, too JDM ! I am all over the place with white...if my car was white, I wouldn't have even asked the question

I thought about the RS colors, but orange with red calipers doesn't go, I had thought about 2011 GT3-RS guards red wheel, but it's a very aggressive color and won't have the same effect without the cool graphics .....and who knows, maybe I'll sport the white for this summers, and then paint them in the winter

thanks for all the advice guys, keep it coming.....pics help too!!!
