Oh, I thought those were the Carrera S wheels and that the Classics were the ones with straight spokes. I like the ones you posted in dark shades, especially with white or silver 991s. Great combination with the red interior.
Are you going to use the red mats? I see everyone suggesting to use dark mats. One guy even said the optional black rubber ones were a highlight of the car (said they were like batman's armor).

Well, if Porsche did not get rid of the "painted black" option, I would have gotten it, and it would be "original look"?!
But I think I would at least paint them black, pinstripe... still debating.

Great looking car. Love the red interior. I have the black painted wheels on my red Carrera, same as in the photo posted. I would prefer them in matte instead of gloss, I think. I thought about doing the red stripe but was worried that if a wheel were to get curbed it would be that much more difficult to fix. The wheel guy's can easily fix them in black but if the stripe is on there I think they would have a difficult time matching that up. I don't plan on curbing them, but you never know.

Thank you all for the nice comments... the wheel guy is coming tomorrow to powder coat my wheels, should have them back Friday (I think we are getting heavy snow 
). But I will post some before and after pictures asap... 
Oh, what do you guys think of semi-gloss/satin black with red pinstripe? Would the pinstripe be too much? Ricey?

if your brembos are red, red pin strip could take away from those striking red brakes
the interior is beautiful, maybe a touch of black might accentuate the red even more......i will be glad to swap you floor mats

Nice Panda, Congrats! I am not sure about pinstripe... I like what Porsche did with their design edition stripes, silver on white or dull black on black, very subtle and cool looking. Why not take some good pics and have some one photoshop that on and see if you like it. Although pinstripe is not a big cost, you can always have them remove if it does not work out. Just my two cents.
