The nickel plating looks very nice but would get lost with the standard silver wheels. I still prefer the red, it looks great and gives it that little bit of bling. By the way, me second choice would be yellow, I would stick with that Fred!

I was also thinking about "something unique" but trying to stay within a factoryesque theme, so I went with green with a sort of rough orange peel/crackle texture.
I love yellow, but because that's reserved for PCCB's, it wasn't an option.

I prefer silver or stainless steel lug nuts and exhaust pipes as well.

Some tyres with tread may be an option !!

This is a friend's 944 Turbo. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but it's grown on me. I think it goes well with some colors.

I love the titanium and copper/gold.
It's easy to get too much distraction going on what with wheel, trim and caliper colours. Gotta keep the whole picture in mind...

I like the uniqueness as long as it fits with the car. I sure don't understand the Italian flag colors though on a German car.

I love my yellow calipers!
Beside I think those brembo Porsche stockers are cast, not CNC'ed like the performance kits so they would need to be polished in a way (tumbler + belt polishing min). Also the guys wants to take a face cut and engrave the Porsche lettering on them :/ Not sure if this would compromise their integrity in all honesty so... still not sure.
I think OP's pic is pretty cool. Wheel color matching the caliper, quality rotors and all. Nice setup
