Has anyone used silver or hyper silver wheels on their Chalk 911? I like the idea but have been told that it clashes with the Chalk paint color.

Silver Wheels look great on my Chalk Cayman.
No clash, complimentary IMO.

In the end, just comes down to what pops out at you, no matter what everyone else thinks.

I think chalk is one of the unique colors that suits all colors of wheels. I personally love the look of satin black (or even high gloss) wheels on chalk 911/718s. But then at the same time, looking at @P_Coastal 's picture above, I love the look of those rims on chalk

Silver wheels do look nice on Chalk, but do they look better than…Black?

Biased, but gloss black with silver accents. Best of both worlds

Wheels should not be black, tires are black. Almost anything is better than black - IMHO, of course. ;)

I agree with @71eh and think Chalk compliments any wheel color well. A few more examples that look fantastic to me!

I eventually went with Platinum Satin. It’s a perfect contrast to the Chalk exterior and takes the angst out of brake dust issues.
