Like the title says, of the four colors listed above, which would these wheels look best on?

IMHO, they would go best with any color car as long as it has matching semi gloss black rockers and valances. .

The majority seems to be voting for silver. Once the tires/rims come in I'll post pictures and see what everyone thinks.

Good score on those wheels.
DO NOT loose those lug bolts, they are hard to find. Get spares if you can. I had them, and an old "mag-lock" lug that was half-stripped. When I couldn't get new lug bolts after months of looking, I had the wheels drilled to accept cone seat lugs. I check them annually and no cracks have developed. That's a really clean set! Mine have the Porsche crests in them too
I have them on my black car, but they are polished allow w gold paint on the inside of the spokes. Totally 1970s!

Know for a fact they look great on my Irish green car
Mine are black spokes with a polished Porsche crest center cap. I've got a picture somewhere . . . .

I have felt that dark wheels on light color car's lighter color wheels" natural aluminum chrome" etc..wheels on dark cars. But that's just my opinion

I've never been a big fan of those ARE 4-spoke wheels, but they look good on almost any color 914 or Bug - not so much on Ghias.
I'd pick any of the 4 but green, based on the specific car pix you posted above.
And the blacked out spokes might look best playing-off the late big black bumpers & black Porsche side stripe on your 75-76 White one of the 4 pix you showed.

Once I get my 5 lug conversion in from Eric, the green car gets a set of Fuchs. Don't worry...they are coming!

Toss up between the light ivory car with Porsche script, and the black car. But, don't think you can make a bad choice with any of the four colors.

I'm not a huge fan of them either; however, for the price (which included new tires) I figured it couldn't hurt. I'll try them on the silver first...then move them to the white if that doesn't work out.
