Default Wheel colours

After having seen a couple of nice 964 Turbos with Cup1 wheels, I'm now thinking about having my Cup1 wheels repainted (or powder coated) in a different colour and put back on, but cannot decide which goes best with my Midnight Blue 964T.

I'm looking at gold (like the BBS wheels), bronze (like the Volks TE37), or white - realise the photos attached contain 2 black cars, 1 NB 964, and one with TE37s, but you get the idea.

I really like the bronze/blue combo, but does anyone know the colour code for the TE37 bronze?

Those TE37 on the 964 look so good! Would love to have them on my car.

Jap wheels seem to suit the Porsche and they are widely available and light.

Does anyone know if you can get 5x114.3 to 5x130 adapters anywhere?

here is a Cup 1 just refinished a few shades darker than stock. (darker than both Cup1 stock and my current 'forged aluminum' 944# wheels, which are not the same color) I think dark sliver or even a flat gray would look great on midnight blue, but maybe a little too subtle for you -

Nice, but I think, as you say, a little too subtle for me.

I love the white wheels on a black car. ThomasC2's car is one of my favorite 964s. He also gets to track it at some of the best places on earth.

I looked at buying the TE-37s a few years ago but was told they don't come in 17".

I am still thinking I would like wheels this colour as it looks great.
Does anyone have images of a slate gray 911 with bronze wheels?

964s look fantastic with the bronze or gold wheels. I wonder what white & gold/bronze would look like......hmmmm
