Would anyone know if the standard Silver wheels, a "painted on" finish with a "clear coat" over top and are the Satin aluminum wheels, an "aluminum wheel" with just a "clear coat" over top?

Agreed I had a feeling Miami would look really good on the GT3 with all of the black accents.
To my eye the picture of the rear of the car looks very close to the color. You can see the greenish undertones and turquoise like color. The side picture does not represent it very well.

In my opinion the satin aluminum is the better looking of them, especially in combination with darker exterior colors. It's also more exclusive.... the standard silver is the same as standard on regular 911 series cars and most other Porsche models, while the satin aluminum wheel finish has only been offered before on the GT3 RS and 911 R. However, the satin aluminum wheels are more likely to show even a small amount of brake dust and will need cleaned more often especially with standard iron brakes. So some have said, and rightly so, consider getting them another check in the column of reasons to consider PCCBs on your GT3.

according to Porsche Exclusive rep I met with in Atlanta in April, both are painted. The standard silver is glossy. The satin aluminum finish is a "white aluminum matte" paint. It looks much brighter and due to the matte finish doesn't have the variation and depth of color.

Satin aluminum wheels look really special in real life. I wouldn't NOT get them just because you're getting regular brakes. They are unique looking and add to the car for sure. 911R look
