Mine came with white wheels

Mine are dark gray. Until recently I also had a set of silvers but as time went on, I much preferred the far more aggressive look on my white 07 GT3.

Different strokes for different folks....

IMO very few cars look good with black wheels. I'm not opposed to other colors but tires are black wheels are not.

Silver. Almost always silver over black.

Black.....Stormtrooper cars are the best. Mine are white and fit the car, but.....black!

Silver vote here. Not generally a fan of black wheels, but now that I'm a father of a black wheeled car, I am revising my stance . . .

agreed - have a stormtrooper car, but the wheels are silver and black!!

7.1 wheels are beautiful so silver. If black, then gloss black looks more finished/OEM and gives the depth that black wheels generally lack.

Adding imagery to my previous post. Maybe helpful?
997 GT2 - White wheels (factory)
987 Boxster Spyder - I painted them black (including the engine bay intake and front trim)
997.2 C4GTS - Factory black w/centerlocks and a little silver trim.

Consider a "dark hyper", or even a "medium hyper". I did a "dark hyper" on my Basalt (which originally came with silver wheels). They do a base of silver on the wheels, then add black on-top of the silver. You get a nice flip-flop of silver/black depending on the lighting.

"Light Hyper"



"Medium Hyper"



"Dark Hyper"

Between Silver and Black...Silver. However, gunmetal/gray wheels on white is my go-to

GT2 looks badass any color wheel.
Silver trim makes it on the GTS- that little bit of contrast between white and black

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the input. Didn't expect to get so many responses. I think I'll repaint to silver come the spring, but will update everyone with what I decide to do when my car gets out of storage and onto the road.

Thanks again!

Sounds great and remember, paint not powder coat!

Whats the biggest difference for paint vs. powder coating?
