Default 991.2 GT3 - Satin Aluminum Wheels?

Anyone have any pics of this in comparison to regular wheels painted silver?

I have the same question. When I was playing on the Euro config, I put those in. I always thought those were just the standard wheels, no paint.

I bet that's the matte/satin silver finish they have as standard finish on the 911R wheels

I would love to get the satin alum wheels on a white GT3, but I would think with cast iron rotors, they'd constantly be dirty

On the left (GT4): regular silver wheel.

On the middle (911R) and on the right (GT3RS) with Satin Aluminum wheel.

Interesting comment about the matte bare aluminum holding brake dust. Otherwise, this would be a nice option as these wheel tend to chip their paint easily...

I think the satin aluminum looks really nice with the UV and I would order it on a .2 GT3 with a Miami Blue exterior

That said, I love how the platinum looks good with every exterior color and hides brake dust better than any other wheel color, so that's going on my .2 GT3, (Guards Red)

Which of the four choices is least likely to chip? That's all I need to know.

Probably aluminum. On black you see everything.

If one of them was unpainted aluminum, that would be it. But all 4 option are painted, afaik
