VW diamond silver would look great and really show off the wheels. Anthracite looks good but doesn't show off wheels as well as a bright silver.

What about a pearl silver like you see on some Alfa Romeos? I think the Porsche wheels could pull off a pearl finish due to the large spokes

I'd go for silver on those wheels personally, but a brighter silver if you can. As mentioned Diamond silver is quite bright, I'd personally look for a colour like that.

Your old wheels looked epic in anthracite, just think silver suits your Porsches better.

There are more options with the laquer if you going powder coat I have spent the last 2 weeks phoning all sort of places prices ranging from nearly £300 down to £160, alot of places just so a few colors but I found a place that does metallic powder coat and the way to get a different look also is to find a place that does sparkle in the lacquer most places don't as they just have a big batch of plain lacquer. I am gonna get my strut brace done too alot of searching but be worth it in the end.

lol, costs about £50 or so for the lance and the foam is about £20 for decent stuff at 5L but on detailing world there is a deal for both at £60 if i recall, you need a semi decent pressure washer to, i just got a new nilfisk c110 the other week for about £50 on special and it does the job great.
