Hello everyone,

I am planning on purchasing a 991.2 GT3RS, but I do not like the outer edge of the wheel. Is it possible to take the edges (lips) off from the wheel?

Best,

if you mean the green pinstripe then yes but you have to refinish the wheel, wrap the pinstripe area or dip it

You'll need to have the wheel power coated or painted.

Thanks for the reply guys. So you mean that there is no paint under the green stripe?

not sure i understand your question but after you buy the car just take it to a wheel specialist shop and they can give you options, if you are buying from a porsche dealership they may also have some options for you

The stripe is painted on, so ir doesn’t really matter what is under it;

From production video of Turbo S Exclusive series, Porsche probably painted the rim edge in green first, then painted the entire wheel black, and finally used precision laser to burn a stripe of the black paint off the edge to reveal the green.
If that's the case, the stripe will be impossible to remove, only way is to refinish the entire wheel.

I think it's better to paint than powder coat...

I have the red stripe on black matte wheels on my GT3. And I somehow got some curb rash. Luckily (as it turns out) for the first time in my life, I got the tire and wheel protection package (seemed very affordable given how expensive wheels and tires are for these cars) - do you think they would have to (and will they) replace the whole wheel to deal with curb rash spots due to the way it is manufactured?

I thought that was a piece of plastic for protecting the rim, I didn't know that if that was actually painted on, or engraved, etc. Thanks for the help guys!
