Wheel colors for silver car?

[DWBOX2000]

Hello,
One of the benefits of having a non collectible is that I can mess with the looks. I don’t do irreversible changes and I typically only like porsche stuff (mostly). So changes but keeping it the family. The rims are silver 18” first gen cayman S wheels, which I love the style but I feel they get lost with the silver 986 body. I don’t want to do black. It’s an S so red calipers to consider.
Suggestions?

Jet Black (somewhere between gloss and mat).

Not sure if it works on silver, but love gold on the right car. Embrace motorsports history. Bronze if gold is a bit to bold.

Have apex wheels on my cayman, reasonably priced and have ideal fitment options

How about a dark grey ?

I disagree. My opinion is black wheels just look like the brake dust has never been cleaned off, and the wheel design is almost invisible.

For a silver car, silver wheels are perfect.

My opinion is worth exactly what you paid me for it.

I like black but agree, it hides the wheels. I like silver wheels on a vintage 911 which doesn’t need any pop. This car could use a little pop. The bronze might work.
Thanks all for helping.

You say you like Porsche things, and Porsche is nothing if not bold with the use of primary colors, so, I present my choice.

I've always liked a rim color slightly more aluminum finished than the silver. Gives it a subtle pop. I was gonna upload a pic of a cayman with aluminum finish wheels but it was a webp file, and I'm at work so no time. You get a volvo instead.

I like a little bit of contrast. Probably my favorite was seal gray wheels on an Arctic Silver 996. Not sure if I have pics of that.

Black.
Dark grey.
Silver.

I've seen a few different paint schemes for them, to make them look more like the old Fuchs.






including one where everything was black except the lip.

Personal preference- Satin black. They just look all business and contrast with silver, red, white cars well. YMMV

Someone on a 987 FB group recently posted that they got some new forgeline wheels.

Not the same, but similar.

All black is out but the other ones are pretty sweet, just not sure my tape skill is good enough. Might be worth a shot with some flexi paint just to test a wheel. Thanks.

I think Black looks good.. my 08 base model with 19s

I’ve done black wheels on several cars and generally like the look, but think they have gotten cliche. When you can get black wheels on your F150, the sport aspect has officially jumped the shark.

We need some Photoshop of your car with different wheels

Black is out.

I like the Fuchs idea
