I just find in person the Aventurine looks more "luxurious", and agree with others- it shows the curves of the car much better than Chalk. I do get a ton of compliments on my car/colour though. But if I were to do it over again I'd do Aventurine. Chalk is easier to have fun with the interior - esp if you're leaning towards red. Post pics once you've decided!!!

Aventurine with Truffle and chalk stitching and Paldao Wood trim. If I would not have gone the GR route, that would have been my "luxury" 911.

I have Aventure Green with the Iceland Green/Black interior in Carrera S Coupe. Also heve the Paldo wood trim. Have lived with this car nearly three years. I put priority on the Aventure exterior from the start when making my build choices. My other interior choice was Truffle Brown. At first I had second thoughts about the Iceland/Black interior but after time with it I feel I made the right choice. Matching interiors for exterior colors, common in the 1960s, are very rare these days and the lighter color gives the interior an open and airy feeling.

I voted Chalk but would not opt for that interior. Or wheels.

Had the same dilemma and in the end, went with the AV Green. I swore that I would order a chalk car given the chance but in person, really liked how the green revealed more about the key design elements of the car. Hard to go wrong either way.

Funny, I have an Aventurine Green Targa 4S with Agave Green stitching/black leather and a Chalk Cayenne Turbo Coupe with Speed Blue stitching/black leather. Love both exterior colors with the combos you provided, I would go with chalk. Every time I build a 911 GTS, I select chalk with the red GTS interior package xoxoxoxo.

I vote GT Silver with black interior and yes, I know you didn't ask me ;o).

Seriously though, you can't go wrong with your AG build and black wheels and keep in mind, people here have a lot of varying opinions which may completely contradict what you actually want and were leaning towards. People told me not to go with certain things like body colored this or that but I did it anyway.

I like both of these exterior color choices for different reasons, but because of the added up charge for Chalk my vote is for AG. You might consider AG with a Slate Grey/Chalk interior. Add deviated seat centers in Slate Grey and tick the 930 leather package option. I've only seen this combo in pics on the forum, but IMO it looks pretty stunning.

If Chalk were at the same price point as AG or better yet a freebie, I like the idea of Agave or Graphite Blu/Chalk stitching interior options. I love the "in your face" look of the full red interior with Chalk, but long term, not sure I would be loving it so much.

After several changes in my build, I settled on AG and Sport-Tex with chalk stitching (a rare Porsche freebie). Went through slate grey, truffle and iceland prior to settling on SportTex, which IMO is the most comfortable interior. The fabric inserts along with chalk stitching give a “pop” not present with the other listed options.

I haven’t seen that at all. It is a very desirable color. No negative impact on value.
