Pictures at the bottom:
I have bought a Cayenne S which I am in the process of preparing.
It has 20" Sport Techno Alloys in body colour, as ordered from new. I am going to get them refurbished properly which will mean stripping the whole wheel back to bare metal, so I will have to choice to paint them as they were, or the more common plain silver.
I am only asking as I have already received a couple of comments (from people who don't really know a great deal about Porsches) along the lines of "are they aftermarket wheels?"
Body coloured wheels are a bit more common on 911's but you don't see them much on Cayennes, and if they look a bit aftermarket I am wondering would I be better off if they were painted silver? Would they sell better? so I need a general consensus.
Also, the coloured wheel picture is form the actual car, and the callipers are silver, rather the usual red you get on the S model.
Mods: Please feel free to move this to Porsche, I wanted to start it here to get a broader initial response. Thanks.

They are the same style of wheel, just painted different.
Also the bottom one, is of a rear wheel with a smaller brakes which don't help, and the picture isn't the best either.
Yes, but the effect is markedly different. The bottom ones appear to have a far thinner spoke, which won;t suit the Cayenne. Also the bottom one, is of a rear wheel with a smaller brakes which don't help, and the picture isn't the best either.
Ok, so the overwhelming opinion is for the silver finish. Which will probably be cheaper too, good news for me!
Only thing that still worries me a bit is silver wheels with silver callipers?
