Turbo Wheels - Refinishing in silver instead of diamond cut?

[Rob_F]

Hi all,

So I'm lucky enough to have a deposit down on a Turbo at RPM. They're going to refurb the wheels, and I'm sorely tempted to get them done in either satin silver, or maybe an anthracite colour instead of the polished wheels. However, I can't find a picture of the exact wheels (991.1) in a different finish to make my mind up.

So - to anyone else who's gone from diamond cut to another finish, what did you think, happy or wish you'd kept it standard?

Cheers,
Rob

If not was me I would definitely go for a darker solid colour, it makes the wheel for me look less 'flashy' and more sport's oriented

What colour is the car, the silver one on RPM's site ?

I had Porsche change my .2 GTS/Turbo S wheels to silver before i bought. Slightly different style to the .1 but would look just as good i recon.

I've just done the opposite. I've recently bought a 991.2 Turbo S which had black alloys.



I can't stand black wheels and they just looked lost against a black car. I got the dealer to diamond cut the faces before I collected.



I've also got a set of Turbo Exclusive style wheels on their way for a spare set for a bit of colour.

Not a Porsche granted, but I recently went from black diamond cut to full silver on the F82 M4, and I'm still happy that I did the swap.

Have you got some pics Lee. I thought of doing the same with my M4 Comp but sold it instead! Would like to see what it looks like.
Thanks

Really like this, i was looking for a turbo s for ages but couldnt find one i liked and my GTS came up. Is yours on stock suspension? Sits very nicely.

There's a finish called Black Chrome, which is the same as powder coating and can be applied in two tones. I've seen wheels that look like diamond cut but black chrome.
