Wheels are NOT Arctic! Haven't been for a very long time.

Arctic calls for a drop of violet in it. When I painted my car I left the violet out to have a pure silver.

ss360 is an unknown quantity at this point
Thanks for all of the imput. I think I will go with blue. JK

Sounds like GT Silver w/ Natural Grey is the way to go.

That's true, and this certainly is the TT forum - though, I don't believe he said specifically that he was ordering a Turbo. I, however, was speaking in general. The 997TT's polished wheels are unique among Porsche wheels. If I was considering any other model painted GT Silver, I would have the wheels painted GT Silver, too.

Also, if aftermarket wheels for any GT Silver car are a future consideration, most are painted something closer to Artic than GT Silver... unless polished or custom painted, of course.

If you're going to pay extra for Silver variant, which I wouldn't, get Polar Silver.

same quality paint, classic Porsche color and easier to see at night.
