Let me go dig up my exact same question from early this year. We finally got to the answer after a long thread. Then I decided to paint them GT Silver instead.
Post 13 contains the actual mix recipe for 0b5. But read the whole thread. There's more good info after that.
For the record, here's my wheels in GT Silver sprayed with a Satin clear coat, if you're interested in taking it lighter but maintaining the non-shiny finish.
Thanks! Just noticed you have a GT4 for sale. I'll give you MSRP less 10% for it. A generous offer, given that it's used now. Seriously, what's the story if you don't mind my asking?
NoGa, how did you get the dark burgundy interior? Is that like an interior pts?
I looked for that when I ordered, but only saw a brighter red option.
NGB--Thanks for the offer. I considered it at length (at least two-seconds) and the answer is no. I've just sold it
I bought it with the idea of putting a couple hundred miles/year and keeping it several years and selling it (actually my wife's idea!?) Since then Porsche built more and announced they'll build another n/a generation car. So I thought I'd get out while they were still going for over MSRP. It sold quick, I made a little and put 400 miles on a GT4.
And what a car! I was prepared to give up my .2 C4S coming in a few weeks. Just driving the GT4 would have been return enough for me. The energy, sound and look of the car are superb.
NoGa those wheels look incredible. I've always thought I hated the GTS wheels... nope just hate the black. I never noticed what a perfect spoke pattern they have before I saw your's because it's all kind of lost in the black.

Hmmm... Maybe it just looks darker in the picture than you're used to. It's just the Garnet Red/Black two-tone that was a standard option in 2014 and 2015, iirc. Now it's Bordeaux, but that seems very similar to Garnet to my eye.

I agree on all counts. I'd have spec'd the 5-lug wheels if I hadn't known I could get the black CLs painted another color. I need to change my Avatar so I don't have to look at them anymore!
