Default PCCB's in Black or Yellow with Satin Neodyme wheels?

Hey folks, would love to get your thoughts.
I've got an RS on order, very similar spec to what is shown here. I was originally torn between GT Silver and Ice Grey, and decided to go with Ice Grey after seeing it in person.

Now, I'm trying to decide, should I do PCCB's in Black or yellow with satin neodyme wheels?
My concern is that the yellow pulls away from the wheels, which leads me to black. However, yellow is for PCCB's....

Would love your input!

Btw...interior will be white chrono, white tach, black door loops, black belts (based on the spec with black calipers).
If I change to yellow, I'd probably just do yellow belts and keep the chrono/tach white.

Either. Both work. Just a matter of preference. Fepending on which car you're talking about, If it were for me (assuming this is for a RS) , I'd go yellow. Black gets hidden. You're not getting a RS to hide anything.

Same for me. Touring probably go black but I think the yellow works with Neo on wing cars.

Don't pay for the black - get the yellow ones and paint them IGM to match the body with black pearl lettering . . . of course you can always paint the yellow ones black as well if body color isn't for you. I'm doing a set right now in GT silver with a black pearl lettering - looks amazing.

Black if going neodyme. I struggled with this as well and decided if I wanted yellow calipers I would select silver, gray or black wheels. I just didn't like yellow with neodyme. This was the consensus opinion of my circle of enthusiast friends as well. I ended up going arctic gray, neodyme, black calipers. I don't think you can go wrong with either option.

I think black looks more elegant with those wheels. Yellow clashes IMHO.

I'm biased - but I'd go yellow calipers. I'm doing my GT3 in white with neodyme wheels and yellow calipers. Tying it in with yellow deviated stitching, belts, tach, and sport chrono on the interior. I wanted some more pop on the outside. If you want understated, go black calipers, but mine is a winged car anyway.

I went yellow. It was my last change before locking.

The black does look more uniform on my black gt3, but I don't care. I went PCCB and I want everyone to know. Is that shallow? Maybe. But I may only order 1 new GT3 in my lifetime so I wanted exactly what I wanted.

I’m thinking about painting mine. I’d love to see how yours come out as well as hear more about the process. Do you remove them and disassemble?

I like the yellow and that’s what is specced on my car but looks like I’m the minority.

i r




I think it gives it a nice flare. The car is kind of plain with black.
