Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Need some help with colour of wheels to choose using the standard wheel of the car
1. Silver
2. Platinum
3. Matt Black
4. Gloss Black
Come on guys everyday I am changing my mind!
It has to be a personal choice as we all prefer different combinations, and I suppose there is no right or wrong colour - just look at as many cars and photos as you can.
My BGTS is Guards Red and I chose the standard silver finish - haven't got the car yet so can't send a photo. The silver is to me the best colour for alloys, and the added bonus of not costing more too - Porsche really rip us off on wheel colours as it must be the same cost to paint silver black or platinum (partial black would incur a cost). I did think about platinum as I do quite like it, but personally I don't like black wheels - side view in deep shadow or poor light looks like a black hole, but I know a lot of people do like them.
I'd go for the standard silver...reasons.
You can see the spokes.
Silver and red are a classic combination and look great.
Powder coating them to a finish you really like is cheaper than the optional colours, longer lasting too.
I've a Guards Red 987 with chrome powder coating (see the Boxster / Cayman picture thread) for me it's the perfect wheel finish.
Ironically i run two cars with gloss black wheels but don't like them. I had no choice with the 991 GT3 as it was specification was chosen (it was a cancelled order), but i will be changing them on my 997.
As soon as things are bit dirty, gloss black wheels make the tyres look brown. As such, i'd either go for platinum but if you really want black wheels, choose the matt option.
