Ordered a Cayenne Coupe in Arctic Grey. However, no black wheels were available as 22”. I have picked Vesuvius grey, but I am unsure about the color combo!
What do you think? Does anyone have ‘real’ images of the combination Arctic Grey + Vesuvius Grey?

Honestly AG looks very grey in the new configurator with the Cayenee which isn't the case. It's definitely much more blue than they're showing. See the pictures above of the GT4 RS.

Thank you! I also think both colors look different in person. That’s why I’d like to see some images of this combo in real life.
Hope it will turn out nicely… Otherwise I’ll have to powder coat the wheels in a darker tone (or black?)

It's a beautiful GTS you've got yourself there, Don! I wouldn't have passed on that either. With a GTS interior in chalk instead of carmine red (seems everyone picks red if the GTS interior pkg is spec'd) that is a rare CGTS example indeed, very jealous. Also loving the gloss black brakes.

Thanks! My Arctic Grey experience is going to be short lived. I got a surprise call on Tuesday for an available allocation that I could have at MSRP rather than $10K ADM that they are currently asking. It was an allocation that was turned down but no more time was left before it had to lock. I had about an hour to decide and ended up taking the allocation since I could get LWB. I went back and forth between AG and GT Silver and ended up going with GT Silver. I walked into the garage today and thought "what have I done?" AG with LWB would be awesome. GT silver will be the classic porsche and it will be awesome too but won't be as unique as AG probably is on a GTS.

This is a confusing question... why would someone be excited enough to post in an Arctic Grey color thread decide to put a wrap over it? I have to assume that's what you're asking because you're asking about color.

The only "wrap" I'd consider on mine is Xpel Stealth, but I don't even think it's a fit for that because it looks great in gloss. I wouldn't mind seeing it done though out of curiosity.

I couldn't understand why someone would spend over $2k on a specific color and then put another color over it though...

(double) edit- I think I see what you're asking. You're looking for a vendor that provides a wrap similar to Arctic Grey. Fair question, disregard my ignorance.

Can't help you though, but I'm sure there's a wrap out there that's a similar muted grey/bluish color...

See edit. It's been a long day. Hope you find something, and if you do be sure to post an update with pics. I'd be curious to see it.

I've read somewhere (disclaimer: don't recall it being from any reputable source) that the Arctic Grey on the Cayenne wasn't the same as 718 and 911.

Just IMHO, I don't think that combo works. I don't think Arctic Grey would've worked as well.

How did you fit that tow hitch to it?
