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.

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.
