Excellent responses...beautiful shots and side by side comparisons. This thread will sure help some of the future owners debating which silver they should check off. My favorite shot is that last one from 72offsuit wearing my favorite wheels. Is that GT silver ?

w00tPORSCHE,
I see you have a white gold 86. What color is this. Can you post a pic? Also what color are your Fuchs?
I happen to have factory Champagne Fuchs, I wonder if you have the same.
Tks,

Pmo

They are all nice so no issues with anyones choice, but in order of preference, Arctic, Platinum, GT. IMO, Arctic silver is the classic Porsche silver color and I would have chosen it regardless of price. I think it is quite changeable depending on the light and picks up color from it's surroundings.

Platinum silver was not in the mix when I ordered my car. The fact that GT silver is an extra $3K really makes it a non-starter for me.

Yes I believe it is the same. It is called Weissach gold metallic. Here you go some pics for you. I think you will like them.

I said those are my favorite wheels on the 997.2. Mike (in CA) has the same wheels too on his 997.2.
