Deciding between two builds - advice
Yes, they are not black, but more toward matte black than silver or grey. I ordered them on my S without seeing them in person and I was somewhat surprised how dark they are. I do like them and they are very good at not showing brake dust which I really like.

I normally don't care for silver trim on any car, but it works with dark colors and looks good on a 911. Personally, I would go with the 2nd build and remove the silver trim. Also agree with others that the both the Carrera Classics or the Carrera S Wheels with Wheels Painted in High Gloss Black with Highly Polished Surfaces look better.
I prefer #1. I prefer the RS Spyder wheels. And I disagree that they don't match the green I think it looks nice.
Keep in mind you're asking opinions on subjective details of your build. Wheel color and style are personal preferences.

Hello,
My freeze date comes up in a couple of weeks. I am deciding between the following Carrera S builds. The only difference is the exterior: wheels, badging, trim. Would appreciate any advice deciding between the two.

If you haven’t tried the 14 way seats yet, you may be disappointed. I planned on getting 14 ways because they were less expensive. Until I sat in them and the 18 ways. The 18 ways were much more comfortable for me. Choose wisely on the seats.
I have seen this same color/combo in person, and I loved it. I felt like the cognac was actually less orangey/more brown in person compared to pics.
This will also be a vehicle that i keep long term and drive daily for 5-10 years.

I don’t like the wheels or interior choice of either option. But it’s not my car.

Have you seen the cognac leather with the Oak Green Metallic paint? A dealer had a cabriolet with that pairing in the showroom and I passed on it because the cognac looked too orange next to the OGM (at least to my eyes). I suggest you see the pair together in person before committing to them.
