Carrera S wheels painted Platinum (semi-gloss) or Carrera S with black wheels? If latter, Porsche doesn't give that option so the dealer will paint once it arrives.

Personally, I think all black is too much. If you do go with black wheels, consider a polished lip on the rim. To me, that provides a nice demarcation between the wheel and the tire (which otherwise blends together too much in my opinion).

Thanks for the input. I placed an order for C2S 2014 model. Can't decide on Wheels, Sport Exhaust System, and Bose Premium package
