I have to agree - most colours need polished rims in order to work. Full red or black wheels seldom look right. Silver or a silver derivative will probably look best, although white can look right on a car which gets used harder at the weekends...

I've got a spare set of refurbed standard 996/Boxster 17" wheels in silver if you want to borrow them to see what the car looks like on silver wheels before you open yor wallet.

Have I missed something Rich, have you bought another one?

As you have seen I had the 944 wheels refurbed black with the polished rim. It seems to work well. I wanted the bright red toned down a bit:-)

Yes bought another Mick, the Yellow CS is on its way to Hong Kong.

Steve, Paul - thanks for the offer. I would really like to try the CUP 2's if that's OK.
