Here's an example of where I fear an all-black rim loses the detail work...

^^^^ Not my favorite set of wheels, they look weak.
OTOH they look great in silver. Just my $0.02c

^Would love to see them painted black like in that picture, but on a White 991S with ceramics and SPASM.

Am I asking for too much? LOL! Thanks for the input/help everyone!

I would love to see a platinum (semi gloss) painted sport design wheel.

And here I think the Carrera Classics look great, but I think it's due to the detail on the door (or maybe the height/angle which this photo was taken at).

Is that an option (from Porsche)?

I ordered the sport design on my platinum silver but still waiting for an end of August delivery. I might paint them with platinum (semi gloss) and see how they look.

No they are not an option but I wish if they were as I think they are most beautiful of the lot. They look sportier than the carrera classic IMO.

Agreed about looking sportier...

Really curious to see how they'd look (as I think the Carrera S wheel doesn't look all that great, but once you paint it in Platinum it looks much better... IMO)!

I went through the same phase as you are in now as I went through all 991 pics available on Flickr and other websites and still changed my order 2 times until it was locked. It is the only option that I wasnt sure about.

It's nerve-wracking, lol! In fact all the options are a bit nerve-wracking (although also enjoyable). It's great that we can personalize these cars so much... I just don't want buyer's remorse.

I saw the carrera s wheels painted in platinum on an agate grey and it looked so good. It has a beautiful gloss that can only be seen in person. By the time I saw them it was too late to make any changes to my order. I believe the paint make them so appealing because they look just ok when they are not painted.
