I still like the wheels all black. I'm not a fan of that lip.

pcw is an unknown quantity at this point
Have my rims out to the powder coater right now, should have them back within a week. I finally decided why I am not a fan of the Factory polished lip, the polished lip IMO makes the rim look smaller than the 19" that they are. I have looked at pictures (thanks navanoD from your website) all up on my screen at the same time and by not having the polished lip to break the rim and tire visually, the all black rims appear larger and fill more of the wheel well space. I know that is just a visual effect, but I like it much better.

Where are you located? I have a black set of wheels coming to me and I might be interested in a trade.

It's all personal preference. I for one love the lip! Here's a sneak peak of mine! I picked her up today from the shop. She's pretty dirty at the moment, but I'll take more pictures this weekend after a nice wash. The wheels are gorgeous!!! I'm so happy I went this route. I also get my PSE installed tomorrow!

^^^ THAT is what i want ^^^


I like the all black look too dont get me wrong - but the silver lip just works for me. Had it like that on my 997 C2S and i really do like the way it looks better. Personal preference i guess.

navanoD, you have PM

They are titanium... a metallic dark silver. Weird thing is you can see the color when the wheels are off, but when installed all the shadows make it pretty dark and hard to see. Not what I expected, but to be honest it's growing on me quite a bit. I'll take some better photos this weekend after nice wash and in the daylight.
