I wouldn't get buyer's remorse at all. So far, any combination that I have seen looks great

Some uber historical Porsche geeks will remember gold wheels and stripe were on the 74 RS 3.0. VERY special car with just over 100 units built for racing homologation... just over 50 RSR track versions and just over 50 RS versions for the road. They make the current cars look cheap. You can read about it here: https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/a...-carrera-rs-30

Here's mine with gold wheels with custom matching stripe... spec'd as a homage/tribute to the original 74 RS 3.0:

Good stuff guys, loving the photos and comments. I didn't know, but figured there may have been some throwback heritage with the gold wheels.

Waxer - nothing like some inspirational photos of your car to help people see gold wheels are the way to go!!!

The gold works well with a number of colors and has that 74 RS inspiration ..........

You are not alone (not mine, but I let the owner comment, if he wishes).

I like the gold. But i wanted RY paint and that's the one color i think fights with gold wheels the most. I'd for sure have done gold on GR, CW, GTS, Black; maybe MB or Chalk. LG, I doubt i could be bold enough to go gold wheels? But I appreciate anyone that went for it: if you are going to go for loud color and wheels, this is the car for it!

Finally obtained an allocation for a WP Miami blue. Well loaded. May 2019 delivery.
I'm still not decided between xenon with its nice 4 dots, and black LED lights.
I would have like Xenon with black background.

You confirme we can not have black Xenon guys ?
