In my opinion blue and black doesnt mix well together ,not just on car. And in your case u have already red calipers and black wheels and blue car. I would go with normal silver wheels.But thats just me.

With non-PCCBs I do not think that it makes a difference. I have Satin Black wheels and before I swapped to PCCBs brake dust showed as a rust color, which also came from the rotors. I had them ceramic coated as well. Either will show less dirt than Silver wheels but you could use Outlast on Silver to make them resist brake dust longer but that does not work well on Black wheels since it gives them a milky appearance.

My friend has just ordered his Gentian Blue cab with RS Spyders, but the dealer has agreed to paint them black, on delivery, for £800.

Could be an option?

Failing that - I think satin will show dust less obviously.

Spyders are great but a pain to clean. My last set of wheels were satin and they always looked dirty. Went gloss this time.

This is again subjective. Porsche offers the combination as acceptable in their configurator as all Wheel Options go well with almost all, if not all Exterior color options. Again, it's up to personal preference and the associated maintenance.

My choice would be Satin &RS Spyder, in that order of ranking.

Agree - I had a C7 with Gloss Black wheels, which is one reason I have Satin Black now.

okey satin black if I choose this wheels. I dont like spyder at all after I saw them irl. I liked the old one to 991.2 but not this design. So I will either go with ordinary in satin black or Carrera classic.
