In my opinion, I would go gloss black with black window surrounds.... if you're staying with the bright window surrounds, I'd go natural (and change to gray/natural headlights).

If you're going with the beige interior, then definitely silver wheels and the natural headlights.

Moving your thread to the Cayman forum where you will receive better action.

I agree with this.

But i think with beige interior the silver matches the personality. Luxury style.

If black interior then all black would be sportier.

From a former owner of satin black rims, I'd stay away from them since maintenance is a bit of a pain to keep them looking good. I prefer the silver, but if you choose to go black, go gloss black.

I vote for silver. This is my color combo along with painted side ports. Do you think the height reflects PASM sport or standard.

Silver on a dark colored car, gloss black on a light colored one. Love contrast!

I really like the Carrera Sport wheels with Silver GT metallic. The contrast isn't there but it is quite striking. Any issue with getting options marked "exclusive"? Anyone have that color combo?

Agree with this. Mine is white with a grey interior, and gloss black wheels.

I have a bit of envy of people with contrasting stitching colors, but that would be hell to keep clean.
