Are that person's wheels above black or the Anthracite grey or whatever Porsche calls it? If you're going with those five spoke wheels I think a grey or black shows them off more. If you are going silver then I'd do the 718 Sport Wheels. I'm having trouble remembering even seeing many cars with those five spokes in just silver, though.

Here it is after ceramic. I recommend that for easy cleaning and glossy look.

Here's my vote for mparekh's wheel choice. I also have the silver Carrera Sport wheels on my Shark Blue CGTS. I absolutely love them. They pop against the bright blue paint and will do the same for that green. And as he also mentioned, the concavity of the back wheels really sets them off. They're going to be much easier to clean than having to deal with ten spokes and the nooks and crannies that accompany each spoke along with how easy it is to clean barrels and the calipers.. Those ten spoke rims are by far the most commonly optioned one as they're definitely nice looking wheels. As a guy who grew up first driving in the 90s, five spokes were the design for aftermarket rims, and I've never lost my love for them. They look the most dramatic of the three wheel options when they're spinning.
