I've got a black (wrapped in Xpel Stealth) GTS on the black RS Spyder wheels. It's well, really black... not that I don't love it, but I like some color too.

I've got neodyme accent trims on the inside, and I wonder if that looks good on the wheels, so I did a photoshop here. What do y'all think?

Even if it doesn't go with the neodyme theme on the interior?
Personally, I'd replace those too (not a fan of neodyme or gold accents, even replaced my hood ornament with monochrome one, will look into replacing the last remaining gold emblem on the steering wheel with turbonite version which comes with 2025 Turbo and higher).

HOWEVER, that is my taste, not yours. If you like the look of neodyme on the inside, and you like the look of the neodyme wheels, why do you care what others think? Get what YOU want, what YOU like, as this is YOUR car. YOLO, enjoy!

I think there’s something in “all black” vision. Here’s mine, initially i thought it was too grey with these wheels but it grew on me later - I see this as a feature now :)

But then I also liked how it looked with more contrasting Turbo wheels, too! Decisions, decisions…

Appreciate the empowerment bro, but the reason I'm asking here is because I'm actually not sure if the gold looks good. I like bronze wheels and like dark silver as mentioned above. Not too sure if this neodyme version will be something I'd end up regretting.

Colours are really personal taste....said that...I would never swap your black ones for gold :)

I think the black GTS wheels are the best-looking ones on any Taycan (i.e. I was thinking to do mine that way :) )....well maybe on par with white missin-e wheels

I think your original looks best but swap out the lights to clear.

Personally, I would not put rose gold on this car. Works for the gloss black GT3 though.

Never knew Porsche renamed rose gold to neodyme for the men. LoL.
That's an old pic of my car...just used it because it was a good side view. I changed the lights to clear soon after (as per below pic).

That shade of neodyme looks different than my photo (where I sampled the neodyme interior).

I love that darker bronze look on the GT3 you posted.
