Mike you ordered shark as well? My production date was 4/29. I also ordered shark on my spyder

Love the special order painted wheels

All the black bits painted gloss.

P1 designs do fantastic work

Just arrived at dealership. Shark blue interior accents and yellow seat belts. Will pick up in 2 weeks. Took a chance with interior blue accent, but friends who saw the interior thought it looks great and unique.

The Gray wheels on the T models look amazing to me, but they are a darker grey not black. Best wishes to everyone, whatever your wheel color is.





For what Porsche is charging for those black wheels, I'd rather wait until I curb mine and have my guy paint it for less

If you drive next to a Sypder/GT4, those rims totally disappear when moving. I've never seen rims go so completely invisible! Keep your calipers clean! ;-)

Black is not my favorite but you really can't go wrong with SB. I'm just jealous that you have your car and my deliver date keeps getting pushed back.

I'm a black rim convert, as I've said before. That's why I love my factory mistake.They both look great, but the all black rim looks more aggressive to me.

Here are a few new comparison pics...

I've typically been a black wheel normie, but decided to go full color with the aurum wheels on mine.

My all season tires have bronze rims and I get a lot of compliments, honestly shark blue looks good with any of the rim choices, I picked black for my summer tires and they will go back on soon
