Default GT Silver Spyder wheel color with black PCCB

Does anyone have photos of a Spyder GT Silver with Satin Platinum or Black Wheels in combination with PCCB painted black? I'm trying hard to decide between the two.

I have a silver car that I have a lot of rims for. I put some dark silver rims (not quite as dark as platinum) and the only day I drove it with them I had 2 different cars on the highway hovering around me staring at it like crazy and giving thumbs up, and multiple conversations in the pits that day from random people about how good the car looked. That can happen with silver and even gold rims as well. I put flat black rims on it, not one person bothered me about it.

I personally think flat black makes most every car look worse not better. Reminds me of steelies, or all those people who plastidip stuff, and it hides the style of the rim completely as well as gives them that dirty look even when 'clean'.

Love the pics of your car. It is specced a lot like mine will be and the photography is always on point..

In fact, I actually saved one of your pics from a long time as a screen saver long ago even before I knew I was going to get a GT4.

GT Silver photos so well. Even a tech deficient mook like me can take some decent pictures of it.

Before you bash someone else's car or taste just look at your signature picture. That's all

Ha! I have Satin Black wheels on my Spyder (they do not make an OEM Matte Black wheel) with Gloss Black PCCBs albeit on a Racing Yellow car and no other wheel looks better IMO. I added some Yellow accents though, including the PORSCHE logos on the calipers and when I get my custom wheel center crests no one will honestly be able to say any other combo would look better - stay tuned.

With black calipers on a GT Silver car, go with silver wheels. The contrast between the calipers and wheels will look great. I am not a fan of black wheels because you can never really appreciate the design of the wheel except from like 2 feet away.
