There is no "right" color. I'm partial to a traditional silver.

How about the regular alloy color that comes with the car? Not a fan of colored wheels personally, but i understand everyone has different taste. Since you asked opinions though mine would be get the regular alloy with no "color"

Just an FYI - the Motorsport wheels are painted GT Silver from the factory.

To answer your question, I'd go with regular silver (matte silver) or a gunmetal color (like BBS Diamond Black).

I recently saw a GT silver C2S with Lobster Fork wheels painted in GT silver....looked awesome in my view. I think the Carrera Sport wheels come in GT silver as standard. I have an Arctic silver c2S and an thinking of having my lobster forks painted black apart from the outer rim. Lots of choices, and no real wrong decision if you stick with silver/grey/black themes.

Can't go wrong with silver or black rims.

I have heard that ALL of the factory painted wheels are GT Silver.

Just the Carrera Sports are factory in the GT Silver. I have heard but do not know for sure that the other silver is Arctic.

I might be old fashion, the 19" Carrera Sport wheels would look very nice on GT Silver!

Saying that, I did opt for the 19" Carrera Classic wheels for my Artic Silver 997S, because they were so so (Did I say 'so' twice? yes, I did ) easy to clean!

With best regards,

.......I'm w/91: a Gray between the Silver of the body and the black of the tire. Subtle color shifts are tasty.
