No, The GT3 RS mag wheels will be in Platinum finish. White Gold finish is for GT2 RS only.

Not seen them, and why I said “ likely”. Hope this helps.

Hi All, very interesting thread!
We just finished working on this jet black beast - full invisible wrap in Xpel Ultimate PPF + coatings on every surface. Wheels were painted satin white gold by Porsche Reading, despite our recommendations to paint them gloss Once the car arrived it was clear they would look so much better in gloss
Interesting info here regarding spraying them and powder coating... It makes perfect sense now, because these powder coated in gloss still look satin, so good old paint it is!
Also, another thing with this finish on wheels is that they look very good in pictures - the reflections are very diffused, so you can see the shape and all the spokes very well, with gloss you loose some of that, however, in real life they just look dull in my opinion, can't beat gloss!
That's probably why this is the official finish for the wheels - so they look best in pictures

That wheel color would look good on Carmine Red.

I painted my spyder wheels 539 white gold like the GT2RS wheel, and will do the same with gt3. Don't powdercoat, it doesn't give that same shine, looks dull.. possibly compromises the metal in the wheel. Find any bodyshop, get 539 white gold paint and then do a clearcoat. You'll get the result you're looking for
