Thinking about getting a used set of silver porsche wheels and love the way Porsche do the wheels partially painted black where the rim edge is silver and the face only is black (with black crested centre cap) and the innards silver.

I phoned my not so local Porsche approved body shop and they say they can paint them for circa £400 inc. centre cap by masking off.. Strangly a lot cheaper than getting the done at the factory (option) at around half price!

Just wondering if anyone has had this done at what cost and by who whether approved Porsche body shop or a third party firm?

I've had my 550 Anniversary Carrera Classic wheels refurbed with a silver lip and seal grey centres and inner rim. Done via Excel.

I've used Lepsons in the past. £75 per wheel.

Had black centre locks on 997 GTS refurbished via OPC's supplier at £400 for the four. Also recently had 20" Silver wheels done in gloss black also £400. Maybe I'm lucky with my OPC.
