Any one have any pictures of dark blue metallic painted wheels. Preferably the Carrera S wheels. No luck on Google or a search on this site. I've seen one which was a Cayenne and the wheels were aftermarket didn't quite look like DBM.

Ok so I did some more digging and while I still haven't found the Carrera S wheels in dark blue metallic I was able to find some other examples. Its tough since DBM is such an interesting color and with pictures it can appear very bright and purplish or very dark and almost black.

Here are a few that I found if anyone has more that they can post please do.

Thanks for posting this. Is this your car? I'm about the finalize my order on a dark blue metallic 991S Cab and the choice was either DBM painted or Platinum Satin (saw the PS whees on a DBM car on this forum and it also looks amazing).

My main concern on these wheels is chips and scratches and the ability to repair them later on. It's my understanding from a reputable wheel shop that the factory wheels are fully painted so the lip is actually painted silver and the wheel itself is painted the body color so if you scratch them up its hard to match/repair them.

Anyone have experience with this wheel when its painted?

I had black SportDesign wheels painted from factory on my Cayenne, the lip was polished and clearcoated, not painted silver.
I scratched them a few times and had them repaired with excellent results.
I never experience a paint chip on those wheels apart from curb rashes, same with my 911 wheels which were also painted satin platinum by a paint shop after delivery.

The car in the pics posted above is not mine but Id seen it and it looks very nice.
IMO DBM with satin platinum wheels is the way to go, I cant remember from where I got the following pics, but as you said, the car looks amazing, a close second after my Sapphire blue
