I have OEM 20" 991 SportClassic's (modern Fuch's) in gloss black. My all time favorite car is the '73 2.7 RS, so it fits with that original scheme. Pretty much the exact spec of the 60th ClubCoupe but white and worth $100k less lol
I was in the same situation but decided to keep my turbo s wheel and powder coat them. The result is fantastic, $1000.
Satin black powder coat.
Just FYI: the professional powder coaters will refuse to powder coat alloy automotive wheels because the heat weakens the alloy. (It's in the 991 service maual). You should disclose to anyone you sell the car to that the wheels are powder coated.
I was aware of this, however this shop specialized only in wheel powder coat. I have a graph with how high they went on temperature and for how long. There is threshold you cannot go over if you want to protect the integrity of the wheel. Those temperature threshold had not been hit.
Anyway thank you for letting me know, I am still super satisfy with the result.

To my knowledge, there are only two sets of these in the world. One of them on this green 911 here in Miami, Florida and the other on a black 911 in Chicago - both of them are my customers. We had to commission BBS to complete these special order wheel models. They are 5-lug E89's and previously, E89's were only for Centerlock Porsche's. I may be able to convince BBS to do it again for anyone who's really interested in going down this path.
