Post 1980 Porsche Wheels

Less Fuch, has Porsche made a wheel for a non SUV that isn’t Silver or black? For a silver car, what works besides silver or black?

I think a gold / bronze shade of wheel looks pretty good on a silver car.

Race car, paint them some neon color.

Porsche has used many different shades of gold, Aurum and Noedyme (latter a bit darker IIRC) are two shades they have used recently.

I think Aurum works on silver (but to each their own):

haven't they made some (and maybe the neodyme is what I'm thinking of) that are a dark metallic gray, maybe anthracite or something?

Just looking at the option sheet for the current 911 you can get Satin Dark Silver or Anthracite. I feel like a lot of the new 911s I see are on Anthracite wheels, great because they are the color of brake dust.

Porsche also has offered body colored wheels for a long time, on silver I guess that isn't that special, but sore of fun on the bright colored cars.

My favorite factory rims from back in the 997 day…grey and kinda look like mini lites.
