I have black / yellow / white in the 3 different cars. Actually, white works best for me. Red sucks.

I got black on my Carrera S after insisting it was an option with my salesman. He knew nothing of it.

once you stat putting miles on, your white gauge will peel. trust me. i had silver, white, they all peel.
black is the only i would take.

Provided you have a color-coordinated interior the colored gauges look nice. I love my red against the red center console, belts and 6-point harnesses.

I really did not mind red in my old GT3, the standard one looks fine too.

i dont keep them long, but i put mileage on very fast, except on geisha as i started traveling for work too much. usually my GT sees 15000 miles a year.

my other cars see 25000 miles a year. i drive about 100,000 miles a year ;-)
