Carrara white
What are thoughts on this color for a regular coupe? I like it but wonder whether it is too plain unless a cabrio, GT3 etc. I think the old 996 coupes better suited metallics but the curves of the 997 do seem to suit a solid color well. The one I'm looking it has a black interior and the classic 19's and seems quite elegant without being bling or flashy.
The white does seem to exaggerate the bulbousness of the rear of the car though compared with metallic paints or black.

Three Wheelin'
Other than Points' car, I think most white porsches look awesome with blacked out wheels, including the lip. So, if you get white, either get the champion wheels like Pat, or get them black. OEM rims on a white car make the car kinda feminine looking IMHO. (GT-2 excluded!!)

My 08 was white and I loved it. I have red right now and like it too but I would get white again.

I've ordered a white 997.2 C2S and I can't wait for her to get here (especially after having to deal with a black car for the last 4 years). I would have ordered the OEM wheels in black but I hate the silver lip. I'm probably going to powdercoat them matte black after a couple of months.

White looks good to me. Although I'm not a huge fan of the standard Carrera rims.
This is one that is listed on ebay.
