Default Wheel Color Identification


Does anyone know what the color is is the painted portion of my OEM GTS-style wheel? My car is GT Silver, but the wheel color looks darker. I've got some touch-up to do. Thank you!

I’ll confirm, this is “platinum silver,” after looking at Porsche tequipment website to find a reference:

https://www.porsche.com/usa/accessor...ipment/wheels/

You can find these wheels under 911 if you scroll over far enough “20-inch Carrera Sport summer wheel-and-tire set”

what I would caution, if you’re buying touch up paint, there may be several Porsche Platinum Silver, as it has been a body color offered over the years as well, and the body color looks different to me than the wheel color. I would confirm the paint code for the wheel. A dealer or paint shop could help you out here. Additionally, there have been both Satin and Gloss options, which may have different paint codes, so would be worth confirming the specific paint code as well when talking about the color.

Thank you very much for your thorough answer and assistance!

I'd go silver or like a brushed clear for some awesome contrast!
