While I agree…they may “disappear” but that is just a camera trick. It is called blown highlights. You will get that with anything short of a real camera. But the point here is that in real life with the naked eye, those highlights are not blown and they do not disappear. I went with a cohesive theme on my spec. Black. Blue. And Yellow. Notice even wheel caps are yellow…..as is the stitching and the belts and the dials. The only thing out of theme is that damn silver SPYDER on the “shoulder”. So in keeping with my theme the car looks really damn good. It is a no compromise GT car look. Sliver or gunmetal takes away from the pop of Shark Blue….IMO. Which is fine if that is what you are going for!!! But Silver and platinum do take away some of the pop of Shark Blue…..while black emphasizes it by the sharp contrast. Again, all opinion here and not trying to convince anyone otherwise. Sounds like we are all happy with what we have and that is all that matters!!!

Nah, I am not a fan of black wheels. My last Spyder had them but that's because I bought used. My three other cars all have silver so silver/gunmetal is definitely my choice.
I feel like black was big in the early 2000's and in my mind I associate them with Mopar and American iron. I will say that they do work with Shark Blue as it does provide good contrast but they tend to disappear and you can't see the details as well.

This was a @Bob Z. project, IIRC he bought 2 new emblems and had them painted Speed Yellow.
Edit/Correction, Racing Yellow.

I am trying to find an interior color scheme for Boxster GTS (GT Silver \or Chalk) + (Blue Top). Trying to get the blue from the roof into the interior.
