What color should i wrap my 996?

I have a 2000 Carrera with full turbo body kit. It is black right now and it is such a pain to keep clean.

What color do you guys suggest wrapping it?
Here is what I have in mind.

-Matte White, but would the color be thrown off by my wheels which are the silver turbo wheels.

-The light blue like Vividracing's, I feel I may not have the right upgrades for that one but who knows.

What suggestions do you guys have?

Thanks!

Matte grey or satin white look awesome. Silver wheels would look fine with a white wrap.

Mexico blue... but in order to be able to "carry that off", it has to have a bada$$ bodykit... IMO

My input is a) Don't wrap it because you think it will decrease your maintenance, and b) don't do it until YOU know what color YOU want. It's too much effort and expense to do something based on someone else's idea of what's right.
