I went white with silver but sort of wish I went standard. I think I'm too late to change my order. Would it be hard to make them look standard at a later date?

Grey with black headlights.. Then you can apply yellow film for that french rallye look.

Plastidip your wheels bronze

While I think the wheel itself looks better in the standard color, I think the black wheel on the white car is just an incredible look.

I had the same dilemma. I went with standard wheels on GT Silver knowing that I can always paint them black. I think satin black would look awesome!

Black or stock.

If u go stock, you could get silver stripes which might look cool.

There's another option. Paint them white, aka the 997 gt3 4.0 rs, and add grey/black racing stripes. Then the car will stand out compared to all the usual strandard, black, and silver wheel combos.

I'm getting white with PCCB and black wheels for an aggressive look. Might strip the wheel lip to silver

We're spoiled because the wheels in all three finishes are among the best looking OEM wheels ever designed for a car. That said, IMHO, the black wheels make a clear, crisp contrast to your white color choice and are the most aggressive looking. Gloss black also plays nicely against the black accents on the bodywork, especially the satin black trim on the splitter and rocker panels. You could do it aftermarket but I'd rather have it done at factory. I think your gut is worth paying attention to on this one and that photo with the black wheels says it all for me...
