I think with some brushed/polished wheels the silver trim works well....

Chrome trim is absolutely a big fat NO.

I went with silver trim on my last build (pictured). I wanted the contrast with tinted windows. I also had cleat tail lights. For my Gemini Bule 992, I am leaving the silver off.

Thanks!
Reviving this thread as I'm thinking about silver window trim with the exclusive wheels painted satin black...is the silver window trim a polished chrome or does it have more of a satin finish? Sorry for the dumb question I haven't seen it in person obviously. If it's a super polished chrome I'm hesitant to keep it, but I think a more satin finish would work well with the excusive wheels.

Most GT3 Tourings and STs have brush alu trim.
Looks perfect with silver wheels.
It depends on the car and personal preference. I like both.

It looks great in person. On a configurator I wouldn't be racing to throw it on, but it wouldn't deter me from purchasing one off a dealer lot or second hand. In fact, I've seen some builds where that trim set the car off entirely and would appear to be a downgrade if it were "removed".

I think satin black trim will look better with satin black wheels.

Hard no.

Most german cars (Mercedes, BMW) comes with chrome/silver trims on basic models. To get black you need to opt for sports package or night package.

I am referring to the option to paint the exclusives satin black on the insides only - the face of the wheels stays silver.
