Decided to do the BBS LM centres in gold at a later date but refurb the std Hollow spoke wheels now as I just bought 4 tyres for the car :D

Question is, has anyone got any pics or can anyone photoshop some colour options :dont know:

I am either going to go:

a) Shiny silver, not chrome but between normal silver and chrome, maybe a shadow chrome.

b) Weiss gold

c) a Copperry, golden bronze kind of colour

Got until Monday/Tuesday to decide :thumb:
 
Personally I'd go for the silver option - car is such a great colour you don't want people looking at a set of blingy wheels!
 
Not gun metal, not silver but what ever is half way between the two :thumb:
 
I say factory colour for factory wheels, so good ole silver, then experiment with golds and things on the BBS. :thumb:

Looks stunning in the sun. 8)

I agree, I had the same colour 996 in the past and for sure the pen silver are the best colour with dark blue, my personal opinion
 
:judge:

Thanks all @marky911 that was before it had the respray :D

Silver it is then :thumb:
 
I had my turbo wheels redone in GT silver as standard on the turbo S. Nice subtle difference, not quite so bright.
 
Lapis blue .. sigh .. love that colour !

Standard silver imho .

Mind you .. when the Cayman was launched .. yup many years ago the promo car was lapis blue with colour coded wheels ( lapis blue ) and a thin silver pin strip around the edge ..

Granted they were a different wheel type of wheel and a different car for that matter but dear god it looked good .
 
HSC - Same colour before the respray though, so quit your jibba jabba. :mrt:

I knew I'd find a way to use that Mr T emoji one day. :grin:


Good point Demort. I'm a sucker for colour coded wheels. Speed yellow or Maritime blue 968CS on body colour Cup1's please. :thumbs:

Mine are currently the GT silver, it's great for NOT cleaning brake dust off :grin:

Now where is that Murdoch emoji... :coat:

:grin:
 
I used to do wheel refurbs when at the OPC .. the colour coded ones i always loved .. most people dont like them and some of the colours people chose didnt suit the car at all .. but i just painted them ..

For me , the little differences like this make a car stand out .. its rare .. its unusal and its not to everyones taiste .. but i like to be different and i like customers that are too :D

Nothing wrong with standard though .

We all like what we like !
 
Mate you know what I a going to say , anything but ordinary ooops stock :grin: :grin: did like Iains suggestion of that body colour launch model with silver pinstripe, not sure about Weiss on a lapis car although I do think gold alloys are coming back in. Anthersite with a flash of silver on the face was what I had on my midnight gen1.
