Default blue 991, black or silver wheels?

having some trouble deciding on black or silver hre ff01 on a sapphire blue... im leaning towards black to go with tinted windows and glass roof... but silver provides a nice contrast alternatively.. maybe even bronze? what do you guys think?

not really an apples to apples comparison but just searched for some pics to get a sense

The black fad needs to end. Silver contrast for the win!

I personally never liked black wheels, especially satin or flat. I recently had my GTS wheels powder coated Platinum. Loving the change.

With black wheels, I think there needs to be something between the rim and the black tire (ie- a polished lip or the red stripe like they offer now on the GT3) to delineate the space, or it just looks like a blob of darkness from a distance, carrying into the blackness of the wheel wells.

I think bronze wheels look great with blue paint.

I like the black. Looks more aggressive. My black have a hit of machined edge which I thinks looks great as mentioned. Car is GT silver but I think it works for blue too.
