I have a 2008 GT Silver TT w PCCB. What color wheels do you think looks great with this color combo. The calipers are yellow (just a reminder).

black, or tinted brushed ( HRE does that), which will make it look very close in color to the GT silver shade of silver.... either way you cant go wrong.

Salmon will become famous soon enough
I always like light/satin silver for pretty much every color. With your paint, though, just about anything will look good.

I hate black on anything but a track car or something like a yellow car if it has pins.

A classy car like a 911tt shouldnt look like an SRT4 neon or the other American muscle cars. Brake dust OK fine.
