Question Speedster - Satin Aluminium wheels?

Hello everyone,

Im about to decide for the wheels that I will put on my Speedster... but the configurator is confusing me a bit...

looking a the configurator of the Speedster, I'm pretty sure there is a mistake in the image when clicking on the Satin Aluminium wheels, which as we all know are the brighter ones used also in the 911 R and 991.1 GT3 RS Ultraviolet...
From the configurator instead the standard Silver ones look much brighter and more close to what in reality are the Satin Aluminium ones. Which instead in the configurator they look darker...

Could you guys tell me if I'm correct?
Many thanks

In person, silver and satin aluminium are basically the same color, just one is satin finish. Platinum is darker.

Ok thanks! but what I mean is that on the configurator of Speedster they made the Satin Aluminium too dark compared to the silver one... and if you try to configurate a normal GT3 with Satin Alu it will be shown with a lighter color.

I doubt it changed in actual color from GT3.

I saw, but it is still lighter than platinum. Configurator is not great on pictures matching real life.

Yes correct ! I agree with you, configurator never matches real life... that's why I don't know what to choose, if either Black wheels or Satin Alum on a PTS exterior color in Meissen Blue

Satin Alum if PCCBs no doubt

Black wheels have passed but make sense with Standard brakes so do not see brake dust

Thanks !
Yes the Speedster has PCCBs standard... so I guess Satin Alum are the choice in this case... just with black the car would look more aggressive, since the exterior color is very bright and classic

I have Satin Alum on my Black .2. I think it is one of the coolest finishes out there period. So glad Porsche offers this.

You will not be disappointed.

Exactly on a BLACK exterior color is good cause is a big contrast... I don't know if on a classic bright exterior color would look good ...

They would look great. A Classic finish with a Classic exterior

If not happy or get bored and want to change later- minimal cost to have them powder coated to Satin Black

Standard silver.

meissen is a classic color so IMHO looks best with classic finish on the wheels and standard headlights.

Thanks for the advice...

Standard Silver is too standard and I think with the Satin Alu it will look still "classic" but brighter and more special

Very hard decision ahahah
