However, I seem to recall that there was someone else on here with a Mirage car fitted with black Turbo look wheels.

Suggestion
For the record, black wheels are harder to keep clean, I know, they're on my car.

Suggestion
I decided I'm going to change the brake pads to Hawk HPS Pads because from what I read there is little or no brake dust.

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.

I have a 99 996 that is Mirage Met. Looking to see what matte black rims look like on the car. Specifically the Victor Innsbruck rims, but I am open to viewing others.
Could someone save me from my misery and post the pic of their car with somewhat like color so I can decide whether I want to order.
Thanks
Mirage metallic here too. Sorry, no black wheels for me.
However, I seem to recall that there was someone else on here with a Mirage car fitted with black Turbo look wheels. Unfortunately I can't remember his screen name. I think he sold his car about 18 months ago and then came back a few months later saying he was trying to buy another one.
That is the look that I like. I think... I am torn between the matte black look and the silver. Black looks aggressive and I like that, but the silver Innsbrucks look classy and speedy.
Hmmmm....
Seriously???? I dunno... heck I don't get it! In my opinion black rims look positively awful on the 996. I don't mean to cut-down one man's idea of beautiful or "very nice" but seriously black wheels look so de'classe and ummmm
boy
toyish... (deliberate emphasis on the boy part).
Sorry. Just one 996'r opining here, but I had to get it out.
I have black wheels on my 996 and I have to wipe them down with a damp micro fiber towel every day. I decided I'm going to change the brake pads to Hawk HPS Pads because from what I read there is little or no brake dust.
For the record, black wheels are harder to keep clean, I know, they're on my car.
Just one mans opinion indeed. I for one like the de-bling that black wheels offer.
Savannah beige interiors and too big wings are what makes me cringe, especially on cabs with skirts with glitzy wheels
As you say - to each their own.
I myself am a big fan of black wheels. Like Jasper said I think the "de-blling" look is killer. Does anyone have a pic of black wheels on a black 996. I'm having a hard time finding any in a search. I'm thinking of painting my turbo twists black.
I have the black Innsbrucks on my arctic silver 996. I think they look great. It's a solid wheel at a very reasonable price. The other nice thing is that if you decide that black or Matte black is no longer the color for you, it would be really resonable to have the wheels painted any color you like.
i have to admit that the Innsbrucks wheels don't have the best paint on them as far as durability goes.
i was thinking about having my wheel painted Porsche Basalt black with some durable clear coat over them when I need new tires.
Or you could easily have the wheels painted silver later on....
Thanks...
I wish. The driver was fairly quick that day but picked up a razor blade in the pits and had to swap over to his street tires. The 302 makes a perfect track toy in my opinion. If I owned one Id lighten it as much as possible and terrorize the local track events.
I really like the look of matte black or dark gray wheels. The gloss just doesn't work for me in dark colors. Or the matte gray that Porsche painted the wheels on some of their production 911s racers back in the 70's. Very business-like.
I'm pondering doing my C2 17" twists either a very dark orange or a caramel color for my winter MS tires. On my all black car it would be something a little different.
Thanks! It was worth the $10. Black wheels are all business.
I'll wait to do the suspension until I have enough track days under my belt. I'd rather work on the driver first, and then improve the car. I also scrape enough as is since adding the Cup front spoiler...
10 bucks? no dismount I guess. Im picking up my car tomorrow with a fresh set of coilovers lowered to GT3 specs, camber plates, drop links, corner balance and alignment. Cant wait to see and feel the improvements. Pics to follow
Yes, I found new clubsports for $1400 on ebay. I havnt seen any reviews on H&R coilovers on RL so Ill do a writeup for everyone after some street and track driving.
Agreed. It might be a generational thing. I see all of these Hondas and Toyotas with blacked-out windows and black wheels and i think, man does that look ridiculous. I saw a Cayenne last week with all of the above plus a matte black paint job. To me it looks like someone sprayed the car, wheels, and windows with black primer from a rattle can. To quote Rodney Dangerfield...but it looks good on you.
Maybe it's because I'm old enough to remember when all cars had black wheels, which were only visible when the hubcaps fell off.
I do like gloss black wheels with silver rims on a white car though.
