I had my center caps painted ... here's what it looks like -

I have a silver car - only choice is black? Thoughts?

NZ951, painting the center caps is really easy. Just basically need to spray them, then buy something like paint markers to detail the crest...then spray clear-coat and you are done. I painted mine about 4-5 months ago, still holding up to the salt, sand and whatever else has gotten onto the wheels since then.

Okie dokie, first off, DON'T CHROME THE WHEELS.
it may look cool, but it poses a serious safety hazard (or so I am told).
From what I hear there is a TSB about chroming the alloy wheels. The chrome will eat them away or something.
Although the black wheels with chrome center caps looks cool. I dont' know about the crome rims on them.

white for sure

So no one likes the orange, huh? Well, despite the most number of votes for Anthracite, I think the white makes the most convincing case. I'll spray the PDs white this week and hopefully post pics next weekend. Thank for the input!

I have coloured crested caps, so guess power coating them with the crest off then gluing it back on would be best.

Anthracite looks the best!

I wonder how that would look on a red 951...

How about those chrome phone dials...

Looks alright, but i would never do it personally.

I am a big fan of keeping them the way the factory intended them to look. However, depending on the car I could easily have my mind changed (some cool colors on some track rims maybe)! Best wishes - Jay Gratton

She's no concours winner, but I want to keep the car looking like what the factory MIGHT have done -- or anything that stays somewhat in line with the Porsche tradition. So white is acceptable to me.

Here's a dark car with white wheels. Probably wouldn't look as nice with out the race decals to match.



BTW, does anyone know if there was any other white used besides Alpine White -- I'm wondering what's the best white...

those anthracite with polished lip and center caps are extremly nice. Does anyone knows whos they are and how much it would cost to do such a thing?

Those rim were from German Ebay. Not sure how it was done or who he was, it's a mystery.

Anthracite pic isn't working now.

ahh, i see. Well, their very nice. I'm sure if one day I walked into wheel enhancement or some place, pointed at my PD's, and pointed at the photo, and said do that, it would be done.
