Standard. GT is one of the few colors black wheels look ok with, but even then it still washes them out into shadow blobs. The wheels are a gorgeous design and I'd want to see them as much as possible. I'd go standard first then satin then black.

I dunno. I went with white gold metallic. Same at the GT2 RS. I think it looks terrific.

I think the next question that OP may ask is, " what should I choose in terms of headlights, xenons or LED?".

Well I'm glad we reached a consensus for the OP lol

I have GT silver with standard silver wheels and I was hellbent on that combo from day 1 when configurator went live. Always loved that combo for the 991 GT3 *personally*, and love that it's a bit subtle/more understated which fits my style


For more of a racecar look, which definitely fits the GT3, for sure the black wheels or black w/ pinstripe. I prefer the pure matte black wheels, they look much better in person IMO than pictures show, there is a depth to them that might be hard to capture

If you are torn and undecided between the two, bam you have your decision made: go satin platinum

GT Silver goes well with so many wheel colours that it's tough to go wrong unless you go black wheels! IMO it depends more-so on your brake choice. With standard red calipers, you can have fun with odd finishes (aftermarket wheel wise) whereas with the yellow PCCB's, you're kind of forced into more traditional wheel finishes so as to not clash with the yellow calipers.

I’ve narrowed the colors to standard silver, painted silver and painted platinum. Any opinions on what looks best?

Thanks
I agree w you- Black.

I like contrast. Black.

Aftermarket bronze wheels can look really good to me on GT Silver cars......
