Rhodium at Alice's on Skyline?
I saw a new 991 GT3 with PCCBs in Rhodium Silver Metallic, dark wheels, parking outside Alice's on Skyline Blvd today in the evening (around 6:00pm) -- was that a fellow Rennnlister?
Are there really so many GT3's out there already that they just show up on street corners? : )

Rhodium I have found a most fascinating color. It really gives many different color tones depending on the lighting. My dealership has a C2S in their show room in Rhodium. I was not very impressed because it has too much of a blue hue with their lighting. About a week ago I saw a beautiful C2S at my dealer outside. I could not stop looking at it and asked what color is that. It was rhodium. Who ever ordered this color will really like it . But be prepared for all the different color tones this color gives off.

A personal taste opinion, I know - on a Rhodium GT3, black wheels or regular? Which look better with this exterior color?
I'm struggling a little with this on my yet-to-be locked order.
Thanks

GT silver would be my personal preference but that one must see both colors and decide for themselves.
KenU - for the Rhodium I would go regular not black. I have found that the regular when they start to get dirty they actually even looks better. Tt really hides the brake dust very well. But - for Rhodium I think I would like the regular just because I think the black would just be a tad too much. But let me thro a curve ball - I would actually consider silver over black for the Rhodium. Can not go wrong with standard but I figured you can lose some sleep tonight

As noted already, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (and the check writer.)
I chose GT Silver for the GT2 RS (default, when Porsche wanted to charge for Carrara White) and disliked it.
I chose Polar Silver Metallic years ago and it has always appealed though it is a tad too "polar blue" like deep, glacial ice. But then again, the planet has almost no glacial ice left, so maybe it's an appreciating asset ... :|
I chose Rhodium Silver Metallic because it is much, much less "glacial" than Polar and it has turned out to be a great color for the GT3 -- not "everyone's got it" white this time, since it's the launch color and will likely be the color for the RS when my order build, when, I dunno, "the year 2020" or something ... still white is the "best" way to get a 911 ... but I wanted to change it up, and Rhodium is not as "classy" as the darker gray, Agate Grey Metallic, that I just had in a 997.2 and will probably be the color for a future 911, but I wanted something more athletic and "fast standing still" for the GT3.
I was entirely unsure about Rhodi at the time the order froze, but in real life, it is a knockout.

I think it looks great with the standard wheel colour.
GT silver looks great too, but I was too tight to pay the extra!!
