White does look good but I wouldn't want to be cleaning brake dust off my wheels every other day.

If so I would like to keep informed on your progress because I want to run 18" GT3 wheels on my car for DE events, leaving my 19" OZ's at home for street use only.

Suggestion
Bronze and black both have a tougher look and really set the car off IMO.

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.

Here are some photoshoped versions of the colors I am considering. Yes, I know this is a 997, but the wheels are similar and the color is what my car is.
So here goes. I am really liking the Bronze. Next in my choice would be the satin black or anthracite gray. Last would be white. Any opinions?
I'm gonna go old school and say White...but the bronze on white would look pretty good as well.
Slightly OT...I love the sizes offered by GT3 wheels but they're almost as heavy as the Sport design boat anchors that are on my car...not a huge deal for a street wheel I suppose.
Andy
Not liking the Bronze
Like the Black the best (I am a bit partial to that combo)
White just doesn't do it for me either.
So you are looking at GT3 wheels for your car. Will you be using them for track purposes (i.e. DE) as well as for the street ? If so I would like to keep informed on your progress because I want to run 18" GT3 wheels on my car for DE events, leaving my 19" OZ's at home for street use only. For me I will paint mine black or leave them silver. So knowing what size wheels (offsets) and tyre size used will help me out tremendously.
Thanks guys. Personally speaking, I like being different. I have seen some sports cars with the white / bronze combo. It is truly awesome in person. Black is the safe bet while I am thinking the white is rather gay. Sorry...just my opinion. Curious to see what you guys thought.
More to come.

Bronze looks good on black & red, but not white. Gold, however, looks awesome on white cars (even if it isn't an option). White does look good but I wouldn't want to be cleaning brake dust off my wheels every other day. Can't go wrong with black either.
My two cents...
Squint your eyes way down when you look at the three (almost close them). First two look like the car has no wheels and is up on blocks. Bingo - last one looks fantastic. The key is it's your car! Do what ya love.
btw - I'm a CD for an ad agency in MPLS - Just Curious, where are you? Freelance?
Chad - I'm not "feeling" the bronze. The white looks good but as someone elst stated, will require a lot of maintenance to keep them looking good. The black is OK, but not in dull black. I would go with a satin or semi-gloss paint.
