I do not have pictures but have seen Chalk with Platinum Satin, in person, and I am not a fan. The reason is Chalk can look dirty white and the Platinum just accentuates that look. I think Chalk with silver wheels looks a lot better and gives it a cleaner look.

I agree... personally I'd probably go with silver (standard, free).... but just to add the satin black can also look good like this one I saw before. However I personally wouldn't do the optional gloss black door handles nor the painted bottom of the mirrors.

With Black wheels I like the door handles but would go CF for the side mirrors. With Silver wheels would not

Thanks all for the input. I am going with stock wheels and headlights, steels and red stitching on a manual.

Destination COTA after June delivery and running-in.

Just remember with the steels your silver wheels will not be silver once you make it around your block.

If I were to spec a Chalk, it would definitely be with all the dark accents (LED lights in black, door handles, mirrors, wheels, leave rockers unpainted). It is in fact the only spec I would likely stick with an all-black contrast, only because to me it feels chalk needs a 1-2 punch. Otherwise it feels like a primered car awaiting its paint booth appointment (no pun intended, just my personal take on the color).
