Default Wheel color choice

Which wheel colour would you put with green - silver, dark silver or satin black! Going on a 992 GTS - wheel type is wrong but best i could do!

I would go for black, and add other black accents to the car, such as the mirrors.

Silver for me. Pops out against the body color.

All depends on the look you are seeking-with the green you have selected, I would either go silver wheels and silver trim to give it some pop or go for the "all business" look with black wheels, black trim and I would add a spoiler to this type of look.

Just don’t do black- totally overplayed. Silver, followed by dark silver.

Of these three I would go with black against the green. People will tell you black is played out, but so is every color really. People were running black, gold, white, red, blue, etc. wheels back in the 90’s. There’s only so much you can do with a wheel color.

I was never a fan of silver trim, but then took a Porsche spec'd car with it. Now I like the contrast each time I see it. I vote silver.

Silver or dark silver. I’ve had black or gloss black rims on my last 2. Beautiful at first. But just a PITA to try and keep clean. Even when you wash them and think they’re going to look clean. They’re not and still end up looking dirty.

I'd go silver or like a brushed clear, for some wicked contrast!

The middle (dark silver) ones for sure. The light silver seems too old school and doesn't mesh well with the rest of the car. The black gets lost with the tire.

Not to make things more complicated, but have you thought of neodyme?

Although you can’t go wrong imo, I second all the above.

Silver FTW - provides a nice contrast against the green!
