Steve, hope you are well brotha. The weiss gold wheels on your 3RS, how much do they change in lighting condition?
I got the 5 lug conversion on my 7.2-3 but thinking about having custom wheels made to the OEM wheel style, was tossing around the idea of the factory silver or weiss gold

I don't think the weiss gold changes all that much, but I'll try to find a few photos for you in different lighting conditions so you can see what I'm talking about. They don't transform like some shades of blue that I'm thinking of in that they always appear fairly light. I do love the weiss gold color though, and it could likely work very well for you too my friend.

Color
Great thread.
I can totally relate to the impact of color.
Probably the #1 reason I sold my 996 GT3 and acquired one in the color I really wanted. I thought through many ways to satisfy the urge. The wrap definitely came to mind…even considered replacing all the panels with carbon fiber pieces, paint them to the color I wanted and wrap the rest of the car to match! A 2 for one so to speak. Crazy.
Color was a big reason that got me attracted to the cars many many years back. I still remember what it was - it was an orange early car from a Tweeks postcard. And then I was obsessed with that Viper Green 1973 Carrera in Excellence, an issue I still keep to this day.
