Default Pics of black GTS?

Ordered a black GTS with aerokit and have been trying to find pics. Lock date is next week. I'm going with 5 lug wheels and have been going back and forth with black wheels versus silver. I'm leaning towards black but wife likes contrast of silver, at least on the configurator. Can't find any decent pics of a black GTS and configurator not realistic.....anyone have pics? Thanks.

My dealer (Hennessy, alpharetta GA) took delivery last week on a black GTS with GTS package alcantara interior and black CLs. Check their site and see if they have pics up. I hate black cars and I hate all-black wheels, and I was taken with how nice the all black looked on this one. It is more than the sum of its parts.

I don't have pics, however, I did see one up close recently at Silverstone and it looked fantastic. It was black everything and I recommend keeping the black wheels....

At one stage I was going to order it in black but was talked out of it but it does look great!

Here are some pictures of a black GTS at one of my local dealers, Leith Porsche. But the wheels are black, not silver.

You will be getting silver wheels, and they will look great. You haven't been doing this very long, have you?

Just don't tell her the badges in the back will be black-on-black. She might freak out.

LOL. This will be my 8th Porsche in 8 years, got a 991 C2S 14 months ago, and am really pushing the limit on this one, so I brought her into the loop. Good thing is she likes black!

So, tell us all:

1) Jewelry
2) Swimming pool
3) New kitchen

Which one did she get recently?

Well, a recent trip to the Dordogne region of France and the promise of a Danube River cruise coming up may have helped. Hey, it's all about her!

Perfect! Just what I needed to see. Just called my dealer and had them switch back to black. Thanks!

To all you black owners. Keep this for reference. It will come in very helpful. I've been there!

I now have GT Silver, and still have the same high standards for my finish. Obviously the silver is more forgiving.

Good reading and explanation of what "paint correction" is.
