I opted for the Carrera S wheels on my white Cab and I am happy with my choice. It comes stock on your S and I think it's a great looking wheel. I don't particularly care for the platinum or black painted wheels on a white car as it seems like you are rolling on a donut but that's just my 2 cents

 

Satin black with white pinstripes, similar to this.

 

On a white car i love the Brushed Hre P40 or P43 .

Here's a closeup of the wheel on a white turbo . https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...0-brushed.html



Here's a photo on a white cab (found it on google) I have not seen it on a 991 (yet)

 

Black wheels are somewhat trendy right now, but on a white car I think it's too much contrast. Someone said once that it makes the car look like a panda, I think that's pretty accurate...

I went with the silver color Carrera S wheel on my white 981 build, makes a very pretty combo.

 

I am also getting the Carrera S wheel (on my order build) but i love the texture of the brushed finish especially on a white or black car . It has this hand made appearance to it rather than the more common silver OEM wheel and on a white car it looks very clean . On a black car it just throws off the glow ofb the black paint .
I am biased though as i have a set of brushed competition wheels on my black Turbo .

 

in your case I´d take a polished/glossy black wheel, because of the classy espresso interior.
i would take a satin black wheel if the interior would be black or gray, more aggressive.
BUT you can`t go wrong with either of them.

however, if i was owning a white 911, i would put this color (satin bronze) on it, cause it is special and it looks freakin`hot!

nice looking wheels, but:

1. ADV.1, they had quality issues and are forbidden on here for a reason.
2. those are 3-piece wheels.
on a Panamera sedan it doesn`t matter that much, but a sportscar should have (forged) monoblock wheels (1-piece) imho.
the less unsprung mass the better!

 

Interesting....I appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks for all the great photos and comments guys, nice community, will post when I decide.

 

carerra classic or the sport techno in black. both wheels have only pashal colouring so toned down from full colour options

 

With a white Porsche, you are very lucky with wheel finish options. Almost any finish works well on a white vehicle.

I REALLY like the pictures of the white car with the black wheels. My Silver car has silver wheels, and I can't keep them clean for more than 4 days....
