Newbie here. Haven't owned a Porsche for 20 years...drifted to other stuff, now happy to be back. Config for 992 Cab due on 4/20. Going with Chalk (I know its polarizing), SD package (maybe add side skirts), black roof, no badge and black wheels. Having the hardest time deciding between glossy, metallic (which I haven't seen) and satin. Florida car, so plenty of light.

Anyone have pics of metallic? Satin shows more depth to the wheel, but maybe trying a bit a bit too hard to be sporty on my lowly S? Glossy (below) seems to have more of a lux look (against the Chalk), which may be more appropriate for a pdk cab? That said, I'm a bit lost. All opinions appreciated!

I like the black on red, white and yello cars. I think the Platinum satin would look great on chalk. But it is personal preference that matters.

I think satin matches chalk better.

I selected a different exerior color, but I had the same question on wheel color. My dealer explained it to me this way. Metallic is grayish black, Satin is a matte finish black and never looks clean, and gloss black needs to be cleaned all the time to look good. With chalk, I’d go with either satin or gloss. If you selected the gloss black calibers then I’d go with gloss black wheels.

Thanks...for reference, here's satin black. Personally, to my eye, the satin platinum (in fact any form of grey or sliver) looks washed out on chalk (better on a darker color)...appreciate we all see it differently...

Good perspective on the metallic...thanks. Sticking with the red calipers due to burg/black interior. What did you go with?

This is my first 991, so I decided to be bold. I went with Lava Orange with glass top, black interior, black exhaust, gloss black wheels and black calibers. I do love the chalk with the burg/black interior. Good choice.

Here is how my (light ivory, not chalk) GT3T looks with satin platinum rims. I have black rims on my agate grey GTS. I am very happy with the way it turned out with the light ivory and satin platinum. It also "matches" the GT silver seat belts, GT silver deviated stitching and the silver-black houndstooth inserts moreso than the black rims would have.

Bold, but simple...sounds sharp. Understand why you would go with black calipers.

Gloss black all the way. Easier to keep clean, more bling.

Satin is awful, always looks dirty. Will never have satin again.

Agreed. I had Satin on my 991.2 C4S for all the previously discussed reasons. They look dirty most of the time and when clean, they stay clean for a very short period only. I have gloss black on my other car - which appears to have more pop for most of the time. Satin - never again!

Id go satin. Gloss will look dirty in about 4 blocks.

for that build, gloss black ALL the way.

I think the point about the kind of build is key. So, cab, light color, burg interior, pdk, Florida...it's more a new version of fast 60's Cadillac than a track car. Gotta be gloss!

Thanks to everyone for their helpful thoughts.
