Please vote | color selection for 996.2 OZ Alleggerita

Hi All! So I am ordering a new set of wheels and tires for my 996.2 w/ cup 2 aerokit. I wanted to get your opinions on the best combo, as I am not a photoshop expert bear in mind the calipers will be yellow, thanks!

I voted gold, but would equally go with silver. I am kind of over the dark-wheel movement.

Yup same here. I am bit torn between silver and gold because I am planning to have the calipers painted yellow so it wouldn't work unless I would go red.

Gold If that was my car, I would go with RED, with a pair of red side mirrors to match. BTW, that is a badass looking 996 you got there.

I'd go gold or graphite. I currently have shiny black OZ, but have considered having them powder coated a lighter color. Black wheels are almost impossible to photograph well. But they do look good in person. I would definitely go with the wider versions.(8.5"F 11"R) That's what I have on my 996.2.

I voted gold, like anything but black on that.

Silver or graphite would be my standard choice but must say the gold works. Has a JPS vibe going on

Voted for Graphite but have silver on mine and needed red.

Gold with red calipers

Another vote for anything but black.

I generally hate gold wheels, but when the color of gold is just right, it can look absolutely amazing. I love the color of gold in your photoshopped poll photos, so I was tempted to pick it, but I think gold takes too much away from the car -- you end up looking at the wheels more than the car -- and there is also the possibility that the gold in real life isn't the same and doesn't look as good as the photoshop (and it's a fine line between awesome and gaudy with gold). For the above reasons, I voted for graphite. It's nice and distinct, complementing the car without distracting from it. Silver is great also. I definitely agree with "anything but black" crowd also. .

Silver

Thank you all for your feedback! I have just gotten info from OZ, there is a material shortage which means god know when I would receive anything (at least here in E.U.), meaning it's only silver that is available. Which is fine as I plan to have the callipers painted yellow. While I would love to have golds, but I found a 996 with RG and it looks a tad bit gaudy IMHO.

Gaudy? Did you say Gaudy? 😀 Rich

I prefer the graphite I have on my car. Also do like the silver, and the gold is an different combo I see rarely on our cars. Dollar for dollar, I�m very satisfied with the look and weight savings of mine! In person, I will say that the graphite color does appear a bit lighter- it really is a nice middle ground between the silver black options. The metallic flake pops nicely in the sunlight as well.

@C2-996 I like your silver calipers.

Corso, really appreciate it. Actually it was inspired by the 996.1 C4 cars that came with a very similar silver color. I was going for a contrasted look (light silver caliper, dark graphite wheel). Wanted something different from the the usual red

Gold is very hard to pull off. Glad to hear you are going in a different direction.

I saw a tastefully modified black on black Toyota Supra not too long ago. Don't know what wheels he had on the car, but they were a darker, iridescent powder coat. Kinda like the zinc plating on pipes and bolts, but with more blue in it. Calipers were painted blue. The combo popped, but not in a gaudy kind of way.

New wheels on the old girl. I vote gold.

I agree, but it can be done. Gold centered BBS basket weaves were all the rage in the '80s. I rocked them on three different '80s cars.

@02Z06 You pulled it off nicely with your arctic silver car, looks great- another sweet aero car.

Can't make your mind up between silver or gold ? Simple, I give you the OZ Alleggerita HLT in White Gold : Next ...

White Gold would look great with black paint
