The lighter the color the better.

Here is the ultimate combo. The SS 1LE wheels are design award worthy, perfect in every way, including visual aspects (color, texture, shape/design, spacing etc.). I usually seek out a form of balance and then get bored by it in a year or two, max, but not with these, they feel eternal.

This is not to say other colors can't look good, but someone did manage to hit it out of the park with these 1LE wheels.

I agree with Arpad_m. The wheels that go best with your 1LE are the wheels that it came with!

That said...if you're going aftermarket I vote gold as well!

I’ve been recently using the Porsche configurator to build my dream car. The options for customization are astounding - colors, leather, wheels, exhaust, badging, headlights, etc.

I quite like the ability to do wheels in either body color or deviated custom color. Here’s a chalk body/chalk wheels Boxter.

Now I just need to find $100,800 under my living room couch cushions!

Interesting thread on powder coating and wheel fairure - I like this bronze color.

I like either of the two lighter colors. But, I’d probably go with the middle color, if it were my choice.
