Carrera SII wheels are probalby ligher if they are the same weight as the original Carrera S wheel. Although the sport wheels have the extra .5 inch in width. Just not a big fan of the way they look.

Try Wimbleton White as a custom color. It looked great on the 65 Mustang and looks sweet on the 911.

Pay particular attention to your interior choices as you see those items more than the exterior. I like white as its a classic Porsche color on a classic car. If you decide on a cab the top color is important as its compliments both exterior and interior details.

Given those two options now, I'd pick the one that goes best with your interior color choice. CW will give you more flexibility in the interior palate than SY. I assume you'd pair SY with either black or gray interior, and while that combo still looks sharp, it's the more "standard" look. Whereas, CW can be paired with more stunning colors like cocoa, natural brown, red, sea blue, sand beige, in addition to the standard black and gray. Since you'll be spending a great deal of time inside your car, then why not add a bit more excitement in terms of interior color?

I like red with deviating black better. Even better is 2-tone black/terracotta.

Speed yella with stone-beige interior. Clean practical and easy to keep clean.
