love the white,
I would have the center painted white (match paint code) and with chrome lips and red brakes.

That is exactly what I would do !!!

Or

center = silver (a little darker then silver) with white lips.

i went with a tight grain metallic silver 2 or 3 shades darker than the car's paint but not nearly as dark as meteor grey.

i picked out this color from a paint catalog. i think its going to look nice.

pics coming soon...

Bara, at the Porsche dealership they have 997S the same color as yours with lobster forks with the black gloss finish and it looks just unbelievable. I sort of like the GT3s that you have as is but my opinion. When you are done I want to see some PICS!!!!!!!.

i saw a silver c2s with flat black wheels at the dealer and cant say i liked it better than the stock silver wheels. maybe gloss looks better.

i tried the wheels on the car and i may have kept them black if they were all black but i cant get with the silver lip part.

prep will begin wed and probably paint friday. should have them back at the house by monday.

do i need to take off my wheels to pull the center caps off?
