I’d still go for silver wheels, though. ;)
Thanks @Wing Commander. Silver wheels are nice… Platinum are great. Now, if I could have a matching side-air-intakes, that would be epic!

The PEC had a Boxster 25 on the floor… what a beautifully balanced vehicle. That gave me the idea of matching air-scoops.
They used to offer that as an option on the 981

Any reason for dumping the GTS spec suspension?

I live in the sticks… 10mm extra ride height will be useful, when wading through a shallow stream 😜

Fair enough. Had been trying to get on a list for a Spyder but can’t find one that will take me, it’s one of the reasons for buying a high cost Macan to curry favour. Still contemplating the Boxster 4.0 but I’m struggling with that ‘not quite what I want’ issue, despite the fact it’s a great car.

www.porsche-code.com/PN758K44 is the spec I’ve been considering

TopGear magazine ran a base 911 in Aventurine with silver wheels - about 5 running reports available, plenty of photos in different light conditions. They had the light heritage trim package too, nice contrast to the green

I selected Platinum wheels… agree on the black ones. I have it on my Boxster and I need a change. Platinum wheels blend well with aventurine green.

That colour almost looks like Agate grey...it looks great but I would say that. Silver wheels are the ones to go for with coloured crests 👍
