That's just me. Either silver or black all the way, incl. uprights and lights. That, and red calipers don't seem to work on purple... think I'll be going PCCBs just for the yellow calipers...
Agreed on the caliper color with UV.

Still went red because usually I torch them within a few days so yellow becomes bronze and red becomes brown. Rebuild and paint calipers is cheap, replacing calipers with open bridge design for normal pad changes still cheaper then PCCB.

I saw purple in person with pccb and silver wheels.
To me, the car would look better with dark wheels and uprights.
The silver looked a bit off.
The purple color was great tho...

918 looking wheels to beautiful / impressive / cartoonish to make dark.
Seen a lot of silver wheeled 918's for the reason me thinks.

No black wheels for me

I like UV with black wheels and silver uprights and black headlights. I want to change my LO order to UV but in Canada we can't

Silver clashes with all the black bits on the car
I'm not a fan of the gloss black either, but platinum or matte looks better.
The 918 pulls off a silver wheel better, I will agree with that

A BIG congrats on your beast. I like the black wheels and lights, matches the rest. I'm not crazy about the silver uprights though, should be black. My .02

perfect combination, minus the blacked out headlights. I much prefer the regular silver backed headlights on any colour 991.

beautiful car though, hope to see one one day.
