I dunno. I've seen pics of a 964 RS in that color and I thought it looked awesome. Oh well, what do I know?

Looks great on a 964 rs, I think it would look good on a 993 rs, but on a cayman with black wheels, well, to each his own I guess.

I think it should be a bit darker shade to look right, regardless of the wheels.

I personally am sick to death of all the black wheels people put on cars that I don't think look right with black wheels, and in my not so humble opinion, the only cars that should have black wheels are period-correct black Fuchs on 80s Porsches

I am REALLY glad I didn't get a Cayman, I was #1 on a local dealer's list but came to my senses and got my $1k back.... 993 is where I REALLY wanted to be

A 964RS is nice in that color, but the Cayman...not so much.

I love black wheels, but on my Adv Green 993, I can't see black ones looking very good.

Is that supposed to be the same color as the GT3 green or is it lighter? perhpas it's just the photo. It needs black stripes to look right although it's still going to look like an expensive Boxster coupe trying to be a GT3.

Not my favorite color and this particular one is probably not for me, however, on p-cars, I'm definitely for the loud, look at me colors. I look at all the 993's for sale on eBay from time to time and it's a wide open sea of ho-hum. I really wish they would have made more of the 70's colors available as standard on the 993. Many who've seen SA Mikes recently sold 964 Signal Green turbo or Bill Verburg's 993 RS replica would have to agree that there is something special about these off the beaten path colors.
