The black does not do it for me, looks overstated aftermarket. The silver is classic, like that. White on the other hand looks stunning. White looks like what a dentist would drive.

Just my .02

satin black looks great on your blue 964, nice setup how is the PC holding up? how much did you pay?


Honestly, I would have never thaught that I would like the white on white, but I love it, I think it looks really clean, different, you see speedsters with color match wheels and they look great, I think this would still look somewhat OEM

I bought them already power coated. They are holding up really well though...I can't complain. I was quoted between $100 to $150 per wheel to PC when I was looking to get a set done.

I would do white over silver. Silver may be classic, but it's also the most common.

White looks like what Vanilla Ice would drive.....why do you want to powdercoat instead of paint?

I will paint first, but I want to powdercoat bc PC doesnt chip, its baked onto the wheel so you dont have to worry about wear and tear

I've never had much luck powdercoating wheels, if they do chip they are nearly impossible to repair.

The black set was on the car when I bought it. They I bought another set for my R-tires in silver but that looked just boring so I painted that set white and that is my favourite set right now!

I have been looking at your car with the white, it looks really good...im a fan of the black on white, nice work.


can you tell me exactly what paint you used to paint them, and the process of doing so---yours look great, so I would like to copy your method if you dont mind


I honestly think white on my car would look different, and clean

It's a paint shop that did it and I'm 99% sure it's regular powder coating. The colour itself is Porsche's "GP white", code P5
