Default Help needed w/ Fuch wheels (color)

I am putting OE Fuchs back on my 930. The COA says the car came with these color matched to the car (White).

The wheels I have are standard black. The inner barrels are also black (as with every other Fuch wheel I've seen).

My question is: When Porsche color matched these wheels, did they also paint the barrels? I want to make these 100% correct.

Here is a picture of my previous 930 with factory painted Fuch's. Hope this helps.

That's exactly how mine look.

About the term 'color matched', though. At least with the white wheels, they are a slighly different shade than the GP white on the car. That's my observation anyway. I have touch-up paint for the car, and it's a shade different than what's on the wheels. As far as I know my neither my car nor the wheels have ever been repainted, so I'm presuming the colors are stock accurate.

I wish I still had my white 930! I could be wrong since I sold it 10 years ago, but I thought the wheels were color matched to the paint.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm more interested about the inner barrels. Are they black, or white?

I do have an extra set of Turbo fuchs. I haven't really thought about selling them, but if your interested, send me a pm.

They are black, but I could have them done in white at the same time I have the other set refinished.
