I've chosen Miami Blue for by GT2 RS along with silver standard wheels (BBS mags are unavailable). It's a 2RS combination I've yet to see anywhere online but I think it works.

I am SO over black wheels (sorry everyone) but dont worry I am biased I have them on my white M4 and just am tired of it or old I guess. I am IN LOVE with Miami blue with Bright Silver wheels, saw that combo on a carrera 4s with yellow calipers and it was stunning. I think it is SO EPIC and it more than works, it looks great. Also the yellow rotors definitely look awesome.

Yeah, all of the modern cars in my collection have black wheels so it was time to change it up. The wheel design is attractive and worth flaunting, not to mention silver accentuates the staggered wheel sizes better and the resultant rake.

Agree.

It is/was a nice fad but I really love the Satin Aluminum wheels they have. They look killer on the black .2 GT3. It really accentuates the wheel design which I am a big fan

No after market wheel design has struck me enough to want to change wheels.

Maybe to change it up in a couple years I will take off the stealth wrap and paint the wheels white gold.- be like a whole different car

I'm partial to black wheels. It's not only timeless but works with every color

Nothing against black wheels, but I do find Porsche’s black satin finish to be dull/chalky which is why I had the body shop add a few layers of clear coat on my RS rims. The extra bit of gloss helps reflect light and show off the shape of the wheel.

Nice touch with the gloss!

Miami blue or boring white? That’s quite the contrast

I have a 1:18 minichamps 991.2 gt3 in Miami blue. Anyone know if that is an accurate representation of that color?

I have that as well. It isn't in some lights in some
lights it's close. Examples are it looks close to MB as is when my 1:1 is in my garage under still warming up t5s. With a bright portable LED light directly on it it resembles the 1:1 in bright sun light. The 1:18 is representative of MB in general and in the sense MB takes on different looks depending on light conditions.

Just took delivery of my MB yesterday. Impossible to photgraph accurately. Even the greener looking photos dont really capture the color correctly. I like MB with the silver wheels and more classic looking base headlight. The more I stare at it the more I like it. Definetely have to see it in person and in different lighting to fully understand it and decide if you like it or not.

I saw Miami blue on a GT3 RS at the factory in Stuttgart in July and it sealed the deal for me. It looks spectacular on an RS.
