I think this color would also look great under a full Xpel Stealth PPF application.

The first time I saw this colour in person I was disappointed because it was quite different from the configurator, but then now, it grows on me so much that I regret not ordering Graphite Blue. Maybe it's time to trade for a GTS or Turbo. >_<

Hi Mac, I have seen those wheels before and I absolutely love them. Are yours standard Porsche sizes or have you gone bigger, you also appear to have lowered your car

Seems like Graphite Blue has been a historic color for Porsche. From a documentary:

If I'm not mistaken, it's a different graphite blue than the one currently offered. This discussion came up a year or so ago when the 991.2 was first announced.

I am guessing here but new Graphite Blue is a metallic paint, while classic one seems like a flat paint.

Great picture I did order a 4S same colour & carrera wheels, my exhaust will be painted in black by PC at delivery. I really wonder how the black wheels fit the graphite blue as i haven't seen it in nature. Hopefully it is not too much of black & dark colour. Any thought on this? I also ordered the back window smoke coloured......

Black wheels and black accents against Graphite Blue are tone-on-tone finish. It is a very muted look if that's what you are going for:


I tried to recreate the classic Graphite Blue car from the Porsche museum, so ended up going with polished Turbo wheels and polished aluminum inserts. See the screencaps above for pictures of the classic car.

... yes the muted look is a good description from you thank you I configured even the interior in black and added the leather package option to keep it dark. the wheels are in black satin, all really muted.... but as said, I never saw this in nature.... which makes me feeling a bit unsure, but just a bit... however main focus is on the new engine anyway....
