Looking for opinions on wheel color
Gonna be getting my wheels painted here soon but can’t decide what color to go with thinking nardo grey or something crazy and bright ...if anyone’s good at photoshop and has some free time feel free to help out :D

Bronze wheels on a white car look very nice as long as it's the browner bronze color and not the golder one.

Needs black stone guards

Darker bronze or a deep grey might give the car a more refined look. If you choose a brighter color you might want to think of some subtle accents in the same hue so that the wheels don’t look out of place. Black wheels, not a look everyone likes, would pop (along with black stone guards). Good luck - don’t let good enough get in the way of perfection though.

I saw a white 911 the other day with black chrome wheels ...Looked amazing ... It had that oil on water look within the black ..Really shimmered in the sunlight ...

i would go BBS gold on these since you got the motorsports look going on.

A wheel refurbishment shop warned me about going for too flat a look. Brake dust sticks to and discolors flat finishes. They noted it is tricky to get something flat and still not be porous (or smooth).

Obviously the dark colors are popular, since your car is white and if you want to stand out a bit, I've always been a fan of gold rims on a white car.
Here is an old pic while it was wrapped white. I run a beater wrap now and I still think the gold works. Be sure to post pic with what you choose, you can't go wrong anyways...it's a 911! ;) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...b84c218914.jpg |
Go to tire rack or other online places that sell wheels. You can spec your car, color and then the color of the wheels. May help you decide.

Shiny copper on a white car looks spectacular, or even white on white I would say.

If your car is a track "beater," I would consider kermit green or another bright color like the RS pumpkin orange/GR...something from the RS accent palette.

I don't mind the bright colors myself, although my wife pretty well nixed red, orange, gold and the like. Not sure I'd love them longer term anyway. At least a white car is great to start with. With the aero kit a bright wheel color will work. Still, your Nardo gray idea sounds good. White on white is a nice combo too, if you love cleaning wheels. If you want low maintenance just color match brake dust:)

How about matching Carrera white? |
