The Rotiform FUC would be a great option for you. Their wheels are forged & custom built to order here in the U.S. while also fitting within your budget. Since you pick the finishes you want you can go with polished finishes (recommended over chrome) or two-tone finishes. Whatever you'd like it can be done.

I've about had it with my matte black GTS wheels. Question is should I powder coat or paint? If you use a satin finish isn't it still prone to brake dust sticking? I have center lock wheels so maybe I'll stay with black unless you guys have a suggestion.

So after washing the car take it for a quick drive around the block- tap on the brakes a few times in succession to get as much moisture off of them as possible. Let car dry, wipe off wheels, and apply http://www.armorall.com/products/whe...dust-repellent

.1 S wheels
To me are the best wheels ever put on a porsche. In plat silver they are awesome but they make a lighter and darker shade. I have the lighter. I even like them better than the classics. For the track lighter is better.

I tried that with mixed results. Just received a jug of Dr. Beasly's matte wheel seal
It really helps, but if you don't keep up with these wheels they will degrade. I'm tempted to refinish them.

Medium Liquid Silver Refinish
So I picked up this 17’ Targa GTS in December. The things that bothered me most were the black targa bar and black wheels. I have been considering wrapping the targa bar with 3M brushed aluminum wrap and refinishing the wheels. Two wheels came with minor curb rash so decided to start there. Took the car in this week while I was out of town and just got the car back today. I went with a medium shade liquid silver. Its between liquid silver and black chrome. Depending on the light they vary in their chrome effect. I am not big on chrome but I am much happier with the results. In this light its a bit more chrome but outside in natural light it looks less so.
I think now I will hold off on the targa bar wrap and maybe just replace the matt black “targa” logo with a chrome silver one.

Medium Liquid Silver refinish
I purchased this 17’ Targa GTS in December. Even during my search the black targa bar and wheels bothered me on the GTS variants. So upon purchased I considered wrapping the targa bar in a 3M brushed aluminum and refinishing the wheels. Two wheels had a small amount of curb rash so I started there. Working with RTP Customs here in Atlanta I chose a medium shade liquid silver. It so some where between liquid silver and black chrome. Depending on the light it can have a more chrome appearance while in natural light the chrome tone lessens. These pictures show a bit more chrome effect than in reality. I was a bit nervous as I am not a chrome fan but I am super happy with the outcome.
Just got the car back today and now I am thinking I can skip the targa bar wrap and just replace the mat black ‘targa’ logo with a silver chrome version.

I have a 2015 GTS w/ Matte black wheels and I'm worn out cleaning them. I have a family member that owns a powder coating shop, and I'm thinking a gloss gray since my car is dark blue.
How do you handle the centerlock nut when you change colors?
