Not the same wheel, it’s the older model, but white gold would look really nice with night blue.

I spec'd my 992S in Dolomite Silver with Spyder wheels-

The wheels are a warm tone gray/silver but the car is a cool silver...
I believe it is important to not mix and match warm tones with cool tones...

It is a hassle to pull tires and powder coat wheels but my OCD may require it...

I don't normally like silver, but that does look good against the blue. Thanks.

Hello all. So after a lot of research and thinking, I went for matte black wheel. Here is a sneak peek with more photos to come once they are on the car....

Very nice! Please post once mounted. I am thinking the same or gloss black.
Eventually will also do a gold to go with my jet black car.

What color is your car? I'm thinking of doing the same with my RS spyder wheels, (my color is chalk)

Night Blue Metallic. The hard part was getting a black paint that was Matte. Most painters wanted to use gloss or some variation. The paint you can see is the paint Porsche use on the 991.2 GTS cars. My previous Night Blue 911 was my 991.2 GTS with black centre locks, hence why I wanted the same paint. I really liked the blue car and black wheel on the car.

I have a 991.1 GTS in Dark Blue Metallic. It's a great look with the matte CLs. I'm really struggling to find a 992 color that looks better.

DBM is one of the prettiest dark blues Porsche made -- I hate they got rid of it. I love that slightly teal undertone. Night blue Metallic is not nearly as interesting.

I am considering matt black, very dark bronze and maybe just keeping the original colour but painting over the beading? Thoughts and photos would be very much appreciated.

Very many thanks,

Tom
