Here are some pictures of my GT Silver 997TT with the GT3RS wheels, just got the wheels yesterday and I love it. I chose the silver/black Porsche Crest wheel caps over the full-color Porsche Crest wheel caps when I ordered the wheels, because I was not sure that the color Porsche Crest wheel caps will match GT Silver, what do you think ?

Excellent combination. There were a few pics before of a black 997TT with silver GT2/GT3 RS wheels...really didn't do it for me. But silver on silver...very very nice. Too bad he wheels aren't any lighter than the turbo wheels...

great choice and a unique plate. You might like a silver hood crest to complete the theme.

Non coloured crests look much better in my opinnion and good choice on the nice of wheels.

What I think you should do is lower the car slightly,add some Techart CF side mirror inserts, Techart exhaust tips and paint the side skirts and rear lower valance whilst keeping the front one un painted in case scrapping.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually think you should leave your silver/black center caps on. It really does look better with your GT Silver. I also do think that a silver hood emblem would look good but unfortunately, you'd still have the gold OEM one on your steering wheel. I originally got a silver one but decided against putting it on because of that.

We should get together for a photoshoot! Our cars will look great together!

Wow. What a combo. Those are the nicest looking wheels of them all when it comes to Pcars. That's a straight fit, right (no spacers)?

Car looks fantastic.
I have been tempted by doing the same to my mine with black centres.
Silver crest on the hood would look really good too.
Is no one doing silver crest for the steering wheel?
