I love bronze or copper, or even some shades of gold on a white car.

I should have my new champagne colored wheels installed on my Mahogany Brown Metallic car next week!

I love your wheels. Car looks great.

I had spec'd those wheels before I went to the GTS, but every time I see them with black painted centers, there's much want...really like it.

This is as dark I go. They are good at hiding brake pad dust also.

The Porsche rim in flat black, although there is no brake dust, on a white car to me look
awful. I would rather polished black.

I never liked black wheels at all personally.

I would go with the titanium finish on the Carrera T wheels.

Or... go gold. But the correct Porsche gold.

No matter what color you pick, I would go for factory color codes but that is just me.

I really like the bronze/copper on a white car. New and different looking.

I love gold, but I'm biased since my car has white gold wheels. But they don't hide brake dust at all...

Old pics, but you get the idea. I would have been happy if they had decided to go with black, but all the other Ti or Agate really work perfect on a white car IMO.
Good luck!
