Default Wheels for Brewster Green?

So I'm going for a PTS build and if everything falls into place, the plan is to go for Brewster Green. I'd be getting a Truffle interior, which should match very nicely. There are a lot of moving parts, so it's not 100% yet.

The question is on the wheels. I don't want to go black with this -- BG is a dark green, verging on black and I think black would accentuate that character too much. I think a lot about the Ferry Porsche Turbo S and like the idea of lighter wheels. I do think standard wheels work too, since they are mostly skeletonized. I'm thinking yellow on the calipers.

I actually like the 5 lug here as well -- I was dead set on center locks, but the 5 lugs are definitely a throw back to that 993 Turbo S.


Thoughts?

Mine isn't Brewster, but it's close - I went with the 5-lugs painted black

Great choices - I would vote first pix - Turbo S Exclusive Design. They just look the best to me.
But in reality if you do select some gloss black items for the body - the stock wheels look great also with the bit of gloss black they have on them - but not overwhelming.

I’d probably get gloss intakes. That’s about all you are allowed to spec, though I’m sure there are some off label/ uber expensive CCX options for gloss. I agree - I think the standard center locks are subtle enough not to really look like black wheels.
