Personally, on a black 993, a set of electric green would look KILLER!

I depends upon how much bling you want to add here. I've seen some newer (water cooled) Porsches with matching custom colored brake calipers, side script decals, and side mirror housings... It is definitely a step towards the modern tuner look, but it is a fun look.

If you don't want to do all that, then I'd stick with one of the stock caliper colors.

You have to go out the box with caliper colors , let inside the wheel come alive , here's some that I have done and you can get some ideas
This is the last set I just got done for my Amaranth Violet Cabriolet

Since your wheels look polished I would say red.

Ahhh .maroon and gold. Maroon is a little too subtle for me. Gold would only look good with gold or black rims so unless I get some more new shoes to match the gold.... haha, maybe next time.

well, I've made my decision. Seeing how a lot of you voted for red , I was extremely tempted to go the traditional route. But thinking how my car has 160k miles already and by no means a garage queen and I have no plans of letting it go soon, I might have some fun with it and make it stand out a little bit. If anything, I could always repaint it back to red easily, or I might even upgrade to big reds then!

The final decision is "acid green " ! Well actually, I couldnt find the paint code for acid green so I went with "birch green " 253 from 1974 911s. We'll see how that goes

Thanks guys!
