Default Can I get Black Rims on my 2018 Turbo??

Hello All I only have a few weeks to finalize my specs and Im close but not done yet.

I really wan't black Rims - Orignally it was a 4S or GTS and both options gave me nice Black Rims.

On the Turbo the Rim choices are limited - Turbo Rims Painted BLack but only the inside is painting black based on the pics - Or The Turbo S Rims which look amazing but aren't avail in Completely Black - But If you order a GTS you have the option or Get the Black Turbo S Rims -

Every time I build the Turbo the GTS keeps coming up - the Black rims, painted Bumpers, ...... Now Im getting confused again!

Not sure what you mean every time you build a turbo the GTS pops up? As in a glitch or in your mind?

I wanted all black turbo s centerlocks and it is a Z option or Cxx, whatever they call it. Special order through exclusive and they have to add it, not available on computer. I was first told $6000, then maybe “$4500”. I said same as you, they are free on a GTS. Nothing we can do. Pay to play or figure out another solution.

Take them to a wheel Refurb company- maximum £600 to paint the 'colour of your choice'?

I would like them done at factory if possible. Couldn't handle taking rims / tires apart on 200k car right after delivery!

No problem for professionals- ask the dealer who they use for returns...

Ask your dealer. I have a order coming in November of this year. And my rep is having my Turbo S wheels painted glossy black. So I'll have to wait a little longer until they are painted but I feel it will be worth the effort. Don't have a price yet but I should know soon.

Definitely go Porsche Exclusive for the wheels. I have gloss black 5 lug wheels on my Porsche Exclusive. They are a great look with other gloss black trim on my metallic white car.

My rep told me today that it's around $800 to paint the wheels. Not bad. So I'll probably go for it when my car comes in.

I'm not sure. The dealership has a tech who does their wheel painting and customers have been very pleased.
