I normally don't like black wheels and accents, but a Carmine Red GTS that used park by my apartment was absolutely beautiful. It's much better than Guards red IMHO. I'd normally never buy a red Porsche, but Carmine Red has changed that for me (particularly with the black wheels and accents).

I’m a little different as I don’t care for black wheels which is just personal taste. I’m in the process of ordering a new 991.2 and I really want a GTS, but I don’t care for the 2 black wheel options, including I don’t want centerlocks. They offer Carrera S wheels in gloss black or silver. Personally I think silver wheels on a GTS would be wrong, but that’s just me, and possibly they’d look ok in person. However Platinum Satin would be just right for me, but they are not offered. Anyone know of a way to get Platinum Satin on a factory GTS build?
I didn't want to wait so I ordered with the standard satin black CLs. Then I had them professionally painted GT Silver. Looked fantastic and held up great for the year I owned it. But I originally wanted them to be Platinum Satin and tried like crazy to track down the paint code and formula. Not an easy task:

Of course, with 5-lugs the sky's the limit with the aftermarket also; you could order a set of HREs or other wheels in the exact finish you want, order your car, and have your wheels/new tires at the dealership when your new car arrived. That way you could at least sell your OEM wheels/tires as "brand new, zero miles."

re: Carmine. After hardly ever seeing a Carmine Red anything in the wild, I enjoyed being on track yesterday at the same time with 2 other CR GT4s at Road Atlanta.

My exterior color search is over. I have seen enough photos and my dealer supplied color sample out in the full sun,and the color is absolutely gorgeous. Carmine it is. Now on to the interior. Black, black with red deviated stitching and red belts, or Luxor Beige/Black. Leaning to one of the black choices.

Definitely this. So many style options with HRE not to mention all the finish options and the ability to pick your own widths and offsets. The combinations are almost infinite.

Have a deal worked out with dealer for a C2S Coupe with early Oct production. Gonna be Carmine Red. Don’t mind centerlocks so much, it’s mostly the wheel options Porsche offers for the GTS.
