How does the 911T wheel color (Titanium Grey), compare with the Platinum Satin? Anyone with photos?
Correct. The titanium grey paint is a true dark grey in color while platinum satin is lighter in hue and which has an ever so slight bronze tint (in my eyes).
Yeah I know they are different. I'd like to see some pictures of the T wheels in real life (even better side by side with the Platinum Satin). Most of the marketing pictures on the website don't show the T wheels very well.
Are the T wheels mat or do they have a gloss?
Yes to me the Platinum Satin also have a bronze hue.
They do have a light gloss and it's difficult to catch the real life impression in pics (well, at least for an amateur like me fiddling with an IPhone..). Most pics (also press) show them almost in black with no contours, though in reality colour, contrast and contours are there.
First pic is a press close-up, the other two pics show the same car/rims though under very different light, but even through the window you can see the clear grey (other than in the yard pic). I have no comparison picture with Platinum and I think oalvarez described it perfect - as far as words ever can properly describe a colour :-)
If I’m not mistaken, the T’s mirror housings are painted in the same color.
Well... not to get into the weeds, but I understand the T's typical wheels are Titanium Grey, and the Mirror and grill on the engine (and stripe) are Agate Grey.
The wheels are titanium but at a glance they match the Agate trim on the car. As much as I miss red calipers on the T the black calipers with gray undertones actually look pretty nice against all the gray trim.
The bigger question I have is why some T's seem to have stripes that appear black in photos and others appear to be Agate. It could just be a photo lighting issue.
All cars I have seen in person have had the Agate stripes.
