In the process of purchasing a GTS and one of the wheels has some curb rash on it. The dealer says they can get it fixed, it's not a Porsche dealer but they do deal with a lot of exotics. I have never fixed any wheels before, worried about this one since its black. Would fixing it cause any problems? is it better to just leave it alone?
If you trust the dealer, let them fix it. You won't even be able to tell where the damage was when it's done. If I did that myself, I'd probably just hit it with a permanent magic marker as needed.

Lols, Did exactly that on my black GTS wheels for a few months before getting them all repainted GT Silver. The marker worked great unless you had your head down looking closely at it.
I had my black GTS Centerlocks repaired of curb rash for about less than 200 bucks if I recall. They did an excellent job - I cant even tell it ever happened. Actually kinda magical.

I would put a little touch up paint on that and call it a day. Typically when they do wheel repair, they repaint the entire wheel and you run a risk of the new paint not matching exactly. I wouldn’t risk that for such a minor scratch (personally).
Just did a minor scuff to my passenger rear wheel. Not sure if the 991.1 black wheels are the same as the 991.2. Seems like the dealer should know what paint is needed? In So Florida I think the Collection sends the repairs to a vendor but I would think they could help get the right paint. Unfortunately mine are ceramic coated too and the center locks makes that a challenge for the vendor to redo because of the special wrench needed to take on and off. Thoughts appreciated.
