Default Wheel choice for GT Silver Body

Hi everyone. I just traded in my BMW F80 M3 and will be ordering a base C2 in the near future. I am pretty set on GT silver, sport chrono, bose, side skirts, 14-ways w/crests and maybe PSE and maybe sunroof. Since dealers in my area do not have inventory, I am undecided on what wheels to select, especially since the body will be silver. I love the exclusive wheel design, but the aluminum looks - in pictures - like it may not go as well with GT silver since there is alot of face area on the wheel. Below are my picks in the order that I am favoring at the moment. I would be curious to see other's thoughts on these choices, and especially relative to choice #3, the S wheel painted in GT silver. If you care to share your opinion, I would appreciate it. Better yet, if you have a GT silver car and have a picture to share, I would be grateful.

I look forward to my first new Porsche! I have had a couple used 944's (1987 944S and 1989 944 Turbo) before I had kids. Now the kids are on their own and the house is paid for, so it is time to get my dream car.


1. classic wheel

2. S wheel

3. s wheel painted GT silver

4. exclusive painted black

5. exclusive wheel

I opted for satin black Carrera S on my C2S cab with black top and black/BR leather interior.

Either Carrera Classics or Carrera S in Satin Platinum. I went with Classics on my GT Silver 21 C2S.

In my opinion, less is more.

When I was configuring mine I went back and forth with several wheel options, but always came back to the RS Spyder wheels. I’ve had the car for 10 months now and don’t regret my choice.
