Default Show Your XD9 (“Wheels Painted Body Color”)

I can’t be the only person who appreciates option code XD9. Who here has it on their 964 or photos of examples carrying it?

I've rarely seen them on 964s, mostly on the speedsters although I'm sure plenty others were actually optioned with them. I personally cannot stand body-colored wheels, but I can see why some folks would like them.

They seem to be more common on the earlier impact bumper cars and later 993.
I’ve yet to see a 964 with a matching set of 16”-17” Fuchs…

You've never seen color matched Fuchs on a 964 because they were never an option. The largest OEM Fuch is 16" and came on the G50's which were the wrong offsets for a 964.

Exactly, there never were Fuchs for 964s. The only body colored ones I've ever seen are the centers of the 3 piece speediness (Sonderwunsch Turbos are all I've seen like this) and the cup 1s (the speedster reference I made above - plenty of those have painted cup 1s) like shown above. That green 964 with green D90s is the first I've ever seen those body colored - and for good reason, that is a hideous wheel.

Ok someone didn't like my post I guess... So here's another color-coded wheel picture

It's a cool option I guess - mostly neat because it existed, like so many interesting things that Porsche has pulled off over the years. I mostly like the 18" speedline look when the center is color matched, as above.

Did you guys get 968s over there? Almost feels like it's rarer to see a 968 without body coloured wheels, but maybe that's because there are more Clubsports than 'normal' 968s actually being used?
