Have you considered painting the lip of the wheelas well? I think that would complete the look and would look quite nice on your Cayman. The red calipers would really be highlighted too.
yes please do one for seal grey! Also lip included. THX!
I was ready to say no, but I liked that picture you posted. Rudy
RedRocket- Looks great!!! Could you post a pic of an artic silver with lips painted?
The black looks pretty sweet. Consider painting the rim red?
Ohhhh! And maybe work the black in thewheel vents. That looks good!

You probly dont want to to see but i just put some 20" black with pollshed lip wheels on my cayman! I can send you pics or its in the New images hyperlink! I say black for sure! your car would look great!
I like the Stock better than the black. But I have to say, boy do I love the Cayman in Red. I never like red, but this Car, WOW. -Aaron
RR - black is cool, but those aren't the wheels for it. Perhaps the rims need to be black also? ==RedEye
RedRocket you're talking about your 20" RH wheels right, not the 18" Cayman standard wheels? I think you're wheels would look really good with the spokes and hub in black and the studs left in silver. Edited by - DaveC on 05/06/2006 7:14:55 PM
actually...originally this was when i was gonna stick with the stock 18's. well, i got the 20's on and there aint no way im paintin them black.... i may paint the 18's this fall if i decide to put them back on the car for the winter...even though winters here are pretty mild.
Black wheels would look great with black hub caps with the gold crest inlaid.
I was going to say not to paint them but after seeing the pictures.... black would look really good. Especially if you painted the lip black too. Shane
It's probably not a good idea to paint the spokes of the 18" because the ends of the spokes are actually beyond rim and can easily get scratched. When Porsche paints the 18" Cayman wheels in exterior color they leave the spoke silver and paint the interior and hub only. I have seen the 18" 3-piece Cup and 3.6 Turbo wheels with the centers only painted and they were sharp. The original Boxster prototype had such wheels.
I would only paint them - and they would look great in black - if you kept your keys well away from your wife/girlfriend/daughter.
Definitely black! Red cars with black wheels look great, very performance-driven and business like IMHO.
