It looks like you went for the silver stitching...both will look good but I personally would go for platinum.

Yes, silver stitching and silver seat belts.

I'm concerned that the Platinum wheels won't really be as silver in real life as they are in the renderings. I've had them before on a 981 cayman and remember them to be darker and more dark bronze

Platinum is my vote. Though I tend to dislike all black wheels as it just... kinda makes everything disappear there and I like to 'see' the wheels.

They are in no way a "dark bronze". I'd say the rendering on the website is pretty true to color.

You can look at countless real-life shots of platinum wheels to see for yourself (here's my car with platinum as shameless promotion):

My vote would also be platinum. With black, you are not drawn to the wheels at all and there's just a void there (black calipers + wheels). With platinum, it feels like a more complete "car" look at first glance and the wheel design is more prominent.

The key here are the silver stitching.....they go with the silver, platinum or black wheels.My first choice would be Platinum.
Now, if you had Lizard Green stitching like mine then I would go for Black wheels......

I ordered PG as well and went with the Platinum wheels and PCCBs. Silver stitching and belts as well. Have already 3 Porsches with black wheels and the Platinum just says GT4 to me.

Went into production today!


Maybe there will some nice days at the beginning of December? LOL. Hopefully.

Still SO confused at how different this color looks like on different computers (phone, ipad, laptop, etc.)

I hope it is pastel like that 992. I am waiting for my dealer to get one in stock.

There's a similar 992 Turbo S arriving at my dealer in 1-2 weeks...will drop by to take pics and see the color for the first time.

...I’m all for it! By the way, both are apparently Python Green, but the lighting must be quite different between the two.
I prefer the bottom image. Less bling. The same way I love that Brewster Green.

While we can't judge images on a screen I'm pretty sure it's more like the top photo than the lower one based on the sample at my dealer......the lower photos is just too dark.
