I've never been a silver trim kind of guy, but if I did go silver wheels, it would be tempting. I saw this Touring on IG with a similar setup and it does make sense.

Photoshopped some silver trim on there. I like it. Oak Green is a throwback color, especially with the Truffle interior, so silver highlights on the lights and trim does fit. Debating this one (assuming I get the choice).

This one gets my vote. IMO, it would be the best specced turbo S I've seen by far.

I like Oak Forest Green—it was almost a choice for a Boxster back in the day. That said, have you seen Underberg Green? I just saw a pic and thought it was very nice. It is non-metallic and I seem to recall that you like metallic colors better, but thought I’d throw it out there.

I have seen some pics - the ones I've seen look good, but I was a little concerned it was reading a bit like Army Green.

One thing I like about Oak Green is that it's a heritage PTS color. I was afraid of picking something that Porsche may offer in the future as an optional color. I don't think they'll do that with Oak Green, but who knows really.

I was Brewster Green for awhile, but I do think the Turbos benefit from metallic colors. From a practical side, a lighter color metallic is going to be so much easier to maintain than a dark nonmetallic color, which is basically like a flat black. I've had solid nonmetallic dark colors before and the maintenance is no fun.

Black callipers on PCCB is a passing fad, offered for those wishing to be different.
I agree with this, including the wheel choice. And I also like some silver trim on dark colored cars. Provides some nice contrast, and looks good if going with the silver wheels. Yellow calipers.

I did some more poking and see what you mean. The pictures I saw on a 718 on Instagram looked great, but it could definitely too "M.A.S.H. unit," which would not be good.

Tbh, any of the choices you picked will look amazing and it goes without saying, but it's all about your preference. I'm normally fully against silver window trim, but it does look great on darker colors - great photoshop work!

Thanks. Normally I am too on silver, but I'm sorta feeling it this time for some reason. Maybe it's the green thing. The millionth 911 and the Club Coupe SE both were green with silver trim, so it feels a little heritage.
