Honestly, you gotta go with silver or brushed HRE P40s... expensive as all get out, but they look amazing on 997s..... someone here has a Black Cab with them on

Could you imagine those black RS1 wheels above with a red lip on the car?
That's getting interesting.
I have a triple black C4S (black lobster claws with the silver lip).
Maybe some red on that wheel might be.... really crazy? (If only I had the red belts to go along with it)

Anyway, not to question your choice, but are you sure that you want black wheels on a black cab? I think that the cab should be somewhat more of a brighter car, not quite so heavy.

Although I see you are not located near any beaches. But still.

Not sure if you're talking about me, but I do have a 997.1 C4S Cab in triple black with HRE P40's in brushed. Here are some pic's. Let me know if you want any more of a close-up shot. I got an incredible trade-in on my Porsche OEM lobster fork wheels from Dan at vividracing. Might want to drop him a PM and tell him I sent you his way.

Also, just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of black wheels on a black car. The wheel just washes out way to much and you don't even see it. Just try to imagine my second picture below with black wheels. You wouldn't even see them.

JoeShark,
Nice wheels and I like the GT3 front end.
How did you lower your car.... H&R springs ??

Thanks. Also, FYI, the rear bumper is a Rinspeed Indy rear bumper.

Car is lowered with TechArt springs. As my car already has PASM, the TechArt springs lowered the car by 15mm. Cars without PASM, the TechArt lowering will be 25mm. The TechArt springs are a little more money than H&R but I had heard from a few on this board (including Alex over at Sharkwerks) that the H&R's tend to sag over time. Also, the H&R's drop the car more than I wanted.
