So which wheel colours should I go for?

Was thinking the bright green to match the car graphics for racing and the grey for wet weather tyres?

My 944 S2 is maritime blue, looks great IMHO on anthracite powder coated wheels. My wets are anthracite powder coated OEM 996 twist style alloys, drys are an odd looking OEM wheel which we all got a special offer on and are Porsche silver. Silver tbh looks great when clean and awful when dirty (the design of the wheel is somewhat odd).

White would also look great but I just don't have the guts to do it yet as they look so awful when even slightly dirty.

I would vote white as I would love someone to do it on a Maritime car, may do it on mine when I get the dry wheels refurbed. If you look at the pictures on the Porsche Club Motorsport site, Paul Seagraves 944 tends to have white wheels and is blue just a darker shade.

Although saying that... body colour blue would be nice, and a 968 CS tradition.

Not sure what colour his wheels are now but I have his 17 inch white D90s and Cups now. Just hoping they fit the 924S!

Thanks, I have a few sets so might spread bet.....the ones that look a bit golden are actually lurid green to match the stripes on the car, closest the software could get.

You have to squint your eyes a fair bit so it looks remotely lifelike... smile

But you know Orange make sense! Give it a go and post a pic smile
