Still on the fence about GR but have already had (2) Red Porsches
Jet black with those wheels actually sounds like a fantastic spec. And the white dials splurge is definitely old school cool.

Looking at photos of build... yes; wheel has red marker and silver stitching. It looks good.

Have you considered doing the grey seat belts? To match the platinum stitching?

Congrats!

Best Regards,

I was back and forth; in the end since i went with platinum wheels, i felt the gray LEDs blended and completed look better. If I went with black wheels, then i would have gone with the black LEDs.

I am still torn on the yellow lens cleaner covers vs. black (default) and red belts vs. black. so many good looking options; it's really hard to decide... but i love the hunt/chase and enjoy playing around with the configurator each day. lol.

Never really liked yellow either, but after my 991.1 was in white, I figured I'd change it up a bit.
that is solid to. so many great combinations... really hard to decide. i am 90% there.

I like the old school look of the standard silver wheels especially with yellow, white, and black colors. They also tie in nicely with the standard silver headlights and the standard silver/aluminum interior bits and bucket seat stripes. Red calipers tie in with the red lights and markers in the rear. No need to bring red or yellow in the cabin -- the silver bits tie the interior with the exterior (wheels and headlights). Black seat belts. 150k car with buckets, dimming mirrors, and larger gas tank. Few $k more for more leather, if you must. (Leave stitching platinum/silver.) Done.

If PTS is not available when it's my turn, I'm leaning towards Sapphire Blue with black wheels.

I have a bad back and not so much of a track person. So got the 18 way manual transmission...I think white makes the car look bigger and with its new Matt black accents looks nice. Choosing the rim color is a different story!!

You may want to consider Satin Platinum with SB.- just my $.02

Great post.

You can be a true GT car driving enthusiast without buckets in your car
