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

Reason: Misspelling
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 ...
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!
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.
If I ever get proper rich, these will definitely be in my garage together.
...but I like the color accent when it isn't too overboard.

Yeah I definitely want gloss on whatever color I choose to go with ...my wheels right now are super flat shot peened finish and I HATE it they’re dirty in a day and just looked like stripped metal

That Kermit green would be nice! But I’m kind of scared to go that bright since I do drive this car a lot and isn’t just for track.
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
