Porsches are the best looking cars in silver (and also probably Mercedes IMO).

Car looks great!

It's absolutely beautiful! Congrats!

I also have a GT4 on order, expected around early 2016. And I'm going bananas over choosing the "right color". My first new car, and the wait is hard...

Right now, I have GT Silver in the configurator, but I'm stressed out over the color choice: silver looks too dull on this car, because of the lack of contrast (dark wheels, no chrome). White is beautiful, but I'm not convinced it's my color. It's sharp, but once I see a GT4 in another color, I realize that the non-white has more character. Blue looks amazing, but the paired with the blacked-out headlamps, hides the car's face a little bit. Red, yellow... too bad they're non-metallic. The metallic colors really accentuate the GT4's lines. Darn.

But then someone told me: choose a color that makes you happy when seeing your car as you open the garage door, and get into the driver's seat. Choose one that makes you feel good about yourself when you're approaching it in the parking lot. And when you lock the doors, and turn around [a few times] as you leave. Don't choose a color that only looks great from a distance, when the car is moving, because you won't see your car from there. You will be in the driver's seat. And I love my Silver Gray E46 330Ci.

But these silver wheels... I'm sold! I think they add the much needed contrast to the GT Silver GT4. Do you have more pictures? Can you upload them, pretty please?

I'm so glad I spec'd silver wheels. Your car looks amazing. If you haven't had a GT silver Porsche before, you're going to love the color as it changes beautifully based on lighting conditions.

Many happy, safe miles.

Does anyone know if they offered "GT4" without the Porsche?
I guess I can simply remove the "Porsche" if I feel like it.

I was thinking it might look good with just GT4 as well.

The GT4 has massive brakes. How manageable is the brake dust on silver wheels?
