I picked the S too, although it cost me a bit as I have a C2 heading this way. I think they are a great looking wheels.

After much back and forth with myself I settled on Carrera S painted platinum satin.

For my graphite blue Carrera S I ended up getting “S” wheels painted black (pictured earlier in this thread). I also loved the RS Spyder Design wheels and think either option goes well with the graphite blue.

The red could look good or be "challenging", so I'll probably stick with black if I can't find one that's already been built.
I have some time before the build locks. Thanks.

Here you go! I realllllly think this is the hottest/best combo out there right now. GB/BR... Rare and absolutely beautiful! I love this so much!

Finally here, GB with black leather interior. Originally ordered with GB/chalk but switched to black, very happy I did, sticks with the color scheme a bit better.

Graphite Blue

I've had mine two weeks and getting lots of thumbs up! I don't think I'm going to get tired of this color!

I'm really late to this rodeo but that car is stunning. My dealer had one in that color and at first I thought it was a little blah but as many have said it is a chameleon and in the sunlight it is just gorgeous. That color would most definitely be in my top 2-3 choices if/when I order another 911, but am undecided on the best interior color to go with GB. What interior color did you go with? And, to me those are the most beautiful wheels that Porsche offers.

I see you are in Charlottesville. I was just back there last week. Wife is a UVA alum and we got married there. The town has really changed in the last 20 years!

I've been here 25 years and yes it has changed a lot. Some positive, some negative, but still a great place to live. LOTS of great roads for p-cars since as you know we're in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mtns.
