Tough call. I usually don't care for black wheels but that 1st pic with the silver rims looks great and very unique. If you want the car to stand out, that's the one. But the 2nd choice looks great too. Tough call.

Oh - that is your car already.

Makes me want to get wheels like that. Really distinctive.

Does anyone know if you are able to order Carrera II wheels with the PON finish (above) in the United States?

I'm really interested in them. I think trying to match the finish would be really difficult to pull off from only photos.

suncoast did a replica, type in the search space, Porsche pon edition and one of the threads is the replica of the dutch edition of suncoast and a couple of pics see if you like the color, I have the color paint code in case you want it.

I've seen photos of the blue C4S they did the PON replica on. Perhaps it is just the photos, but it seems like the wheels on that car are a considerably lighter color than the dutch pon car?

I think its the light I had the exact same question, if it was the same color, because one looks brighter, but look in you tube on the videos I think its the right color, also if you noticed the cayenne titanium edition for some reason the wheel color looks like the gt silver in terms of shine, suncoast told me that this wheels have the same color as the titanium edition.. http://media.photobucket.com/image/p...o/DSC03243.jpg

We did a bit of research, our conclusion was that they used the Titanium color from the Cayenne Titanium edition. My Mom was in the Netherlands and grabbed a brochure for that model, and we matched it based on the brochure. In the photo above of our car, that was in the mid-day sun with an average camera, so not sure if that's the best photo for reference.

Here is a photo of the Titanium Edition Cayenne, and the color we used for the wheels:



If you need a paint code, let me know.
