Default White GT3 wheel color

What seems to be the most popular wheel color for a white GT3, standard Platinum Satin, silver or black? My first choice was to stay with Platinum Satin but looks like a few customers have been selecting silver. Is one color or finish more durable than another?

You've asked the million dollar question? I have the platinum, and #2 is black silver has never been in the equation. Still spinning my wheels on this one. I also went with metallic white vs. the standard white.

The C2S loaner that I have has silver wheels. They get dirty very fast and the dirt is noticeable. Literally, you have to wipe them down each time you drive the car.

I love the platinum and that's what I have. Had I bought a black car, I would have ordered black wheels. As Nick said, silver shows brake dust so easily. You can't even notice it on Platinum (until you wash the wheels and realize the difference).

Platinum I like best. Silver will not look good because of brake dust. Black is fine but why pay for when the Platinum looks black as more dust collects

Sometimes your first choice is your best choice (even sight unseen!). Thanks Boys, you've made my decision easy...and I hate brake dust!

I have the platinum satin. I quite like it.
I would let the type of headlights define your wheel finish to balance the exterior. That's why I took the LED headlights, that are quite good looking with the satin finish IMHO. If I would have chosen the black wheels then I would have gone with the black PDLS or vice-versa. I really wanted the LED headlights so I've decided to go satin. BUT if the LED's become available in black I will probably change them and also change wheel color to black.

Good suggestions. I got the LED's as well and agree looks nice with satin. I do like the black lights, but then I would have to get black wheels. High class problem to have too many choices. I need to just stop looking n

Black PDLS and Satin wheels look great together.
