What Do You Guys Think Of These Black TT Wheels?

I had a set of the standard, lightweight turbo twist rims on my car - and they looked great with the color (Meridian Metallic) of the car itself. But I just got 2 more sets of rims ... one for driving around town (the tops pics in the link below), and a custom painted set of BLACK TURBO TWIST wheels on Pirelli P-Zero's (the pics near the bottom of the page below). We have a track day on 6/5 and I thought these would look pretty cool on the track.

Thoughts? It definitely gives the 996TT a very aggressive look.

TOM KERR - thanks, that's what I was thinking also ... just for TRACK wheels. The black looks very aggressive for that purpose.

I think the look below is the best look for the city, etc:

Did you see the GT2 with RED wheels? I thought that looked odd when the car was sitting, but it looks sick on the track. It's the 3rd car on this page:

I like the black turbo rims. But would add a little color to set them off. Maybe a silver stripe or red stripe on the outer lip.

What size tires are on the rear? They look like 295's but are a little streched.
Are the wheels 12" wide?

I love black wheels, but those are almost too black.

I just did my stock turbo twist's in gloss black also, it honestly looks aggressive but amazing on it, it iwll probably be my track set cause i have 19's coming, but i dont see why they couldnt be used for daily or street use, unless a flat primered look black?!

ZONA ... yes, 295's on the back. I may test a 305 soon. The width is right at 12.5".

These TT rims are flat black. I thought about having some silver tone / small detailing put in somewhere ... not sure what though. I leaving for AZ tomorrow and then putting them on the car next Sunday for our track day on Monday 6/5. We'll have some great pics and good in-car video on display soon.

Have a good weekend all. Thanks for your input.

Craig
