Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I really like both and usually I would be the first to say for people to go with their own choice, but I'm having such a hard time deciding.
Silver, look great when clean, less likely to offend future buyers if u decide to sell
Grey, look a little meaner I think, Hide dirt a bit better, bit different I suppose
Reason I've posted gt2 pics is mine has the bumper, engine cover, spoiler etc so a closer representation of how my car would look minus the yellow calipers
Thanks for looking

I had mine re-done in GT silver (as standard on the turbo S), which is what I think the GT2 pictured may also have. It's a subtle, but classy, effective difference, and thoroughly recommended.

Agreed. A friend has a black 996 Turbo S with the GT silver wheels. A subtle improvement over the 'normal' silver on a black 996 methinks.
Went for grey, although a slightly darker shade than the gt silver. Just looked a little bit too like the wheels were just dirty on some pics I saw to me
Pics to follow
Liking the anthracite rims on the C4S, I was going to do that on my silver 4S last years but chickened out and went for OE silver. Next time I'd go darker. A black car can wear darker rims more easily.
The last ones pictured above look the best. In my opinion. "eg6-b18c6" ones.
Much better than standard, which look unfinished. The standard rims aren't very slick, so darkening the colour does make them look a little better i feel.
Aww cheers guys, refurbed the calipers while the wheels were off getting powder coated as they were looking rather tired. Fitted new discs and pads aswell and painted the disc bells in satin black barbecue paint. Has really lifted the look of the whole car. The rusty worn discs and flaky calipers and wheels were really letting it down even when freshly polished and waxed. Had the front bumper painted and the plate removed and a new splitter as the old one was cracked and painted basalt rather than the natural plastic it should be. Headlights were also tired so have wet sanded and polished them and painted the insides and washer caps in a dark metallic grey rather than the chrome which I always thought looked a bit naff on a black car
