Silver LED headlights? Interesting choice on the RS!

The light housing and wheels match better in that case. If you're going black wheels, order black LED's.

Hello Mech33,


bronson7 comment is on point. Since I chose the standard wheel color Grey/Titanium rims, I also took the silver LED instead of the blacked out LED. The silver LED complements the silver Daylight Running Lights. This way the color symmetry lines up really well.

Drive safe,

Personally I disagree, but I realize that is a very subjective choice!

For me black wheels with PCCB and black LED lights are just perfect for the 991RS! The black wheels look good with the black louvers, rear decklid and aero parts. It won't be looking over wheeled too at the back if the wheels are black.

Agree this looks great. Although I do think the silver in this thread looks good too, and will be different. Choices! All the wheels look great on lava. Makes things more difficult when ordering!

I ordered black with PCCB, best looking combo imo. in fact, id prefer glossy black if porsche offered it. Black wheels make them look a little smaller which I like too.

it looks sharp... but does hide the wheel design and makes the car look like a bit of a hovercraft, since tires and wheel wells are also black... think I am probably going this direction anyways, but I can see the downside that some speak of...

although not lava orange, this pic is what is putting me over the edge on black/PCCB combo with a bright color...

I did order black wheels, although i really liked the matte silver paint on my gt3, i really do not know if i will stay with the black wheels or i will paint them like the gt3, maybe i will wait some time to see if the black starts to fade... In the other hand i really think LO with black wheels and pccb's make the car even more "racing look" than with the standard grey.
I have delivery date by Nov 15
