Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

When the are acid cleaned (or simply new) they look stunning in the light.
Leading evidence: 'Clean (or simply new) they look stunning in the light' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean (or simply new) they look stunning in the light' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After your opinions here:
My car is Schwartz Black Metallic (very dark Grey) and currently has Carrera classic 18"s in Silver.
I love the look of the wheel but also love the retro look of a Black spoked alloy with Silver edging.
I am thinking of doing an expensive refurb on the Carreras on the lines of the Boxster 550 Anniversary wheels.. see here:
Only instead of Grey spokes I will be looking to do Black
Your thoughts please...

Good idea, may just try photoshopping it.
I did have a crazy moment earlier, how does this sound?
The car is nearly Black, try and picture it with the wheels in mind, bright Green calipers with Black logos, GT3 buckets with caliper-matching Green 4-point harness and fairly dark tinted glass.
Hmm.... chav or cool?
All ok except green calipers. For your specific colour scheme, why not go for the silver calipers as fited to the C4 models? I think these would contrast more with the black centre/silver rim wheels. These calipers also have the black logos.

Lloyd,
I think the concept of an alloy wheel was to make it look as near to the natural bear material as is possible hence the careful selection of an alloy colured paint as close to the natural material colour as possible but still providing a protective coating
Black and other colours look like cheap tacky covers and PLASTIC LIKE the coloured paint also hides the natural beauty of the select product-alloy, what ever the mix is.
The wheel may as well be made for anything if you are going to paint them a dark colour.
Hope this fully explains where I am on this.
Like the idea Lloyd, go for it 8)
Going on the description of your car colour, it should look great. Agree on the caliper colour though. Steer clear of green. Silver would look cool though. To me bright green = GT3 RS :dont know:
I'm thinking of doing something very similar on my 18" Sport designs soon.
Inner - Black or dark grey.
Outer - Left silver
Think both colours will contrast nicely with my car - Arctic Silver :thumb:
Where do you stand on titanium? Or gunmetal (so called as it looks like colour of the metal used to make, erm, guns!)
Just playing devil's avocado (that was an awful colour aswell), personally I like the "whitest" shade of silver on alloys. When the are acid cleaned (or simply new) they look stunning in the light. Even brighter than the diamond cut designs of recent years.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
