Just mounted the white wheels this weekend, while the first snow of the season is coming down. I did not like the look at first, but it is striking and is growing on me. This photo is from summer.
I would have still preferred these wheels in gun metal metallic...

My hre's which I was actually contemplating on painting white with plastidip only, to allow me to remove if unattractive, are originally powder coated charcoal/gun metal.

i'm a big fan of the alum finish like that of the 997 turbo wheels against the white. white wheels is a bit too much white for me....

These are purty sweet imo...maybe too vintage for a 997 though.

my thoughts exactly, photoshop mock and make sure its easily reversable.

white on white works on some cars depending upon how aggressive the cars are.

We can handle the photo shop edit, do you have a good shot of your car with the wheels on that we can work with?

I like how they painted these wheels. It looks like the rims and the spoke edges are white, but the spoke faces are silver.

Agreed, but have you also considered bronze?
