Default Paint code for sport package wheels?

Does anyone happen to know the color code for the dark silver Sport Design package wheels?

Ouufff, I need to see that car. Wish it was not a cab. I ALMOST did Aventurine green with sport pkg too... Going to search for this one on IG.

No, don't know it. You can't have it unless you do the sport package hehe. Looks like a Gun mental grey?


Edit, I can't find that pic, do you have a link?? Does anyone have a picture of a TTS in Aventurine green with the sport package?

Hey Eclou, I logged onto My Porsche with the hopes it would be listed somewhere on my profile for my TTS with Sport Pkg. but no luck, it wasn’t listed, it just says Turbo S Wheels

The wheel color is advertised as Platinum semi-gloss. Unfortunately I can't find a color code for it anywhere, but I found this thread where some folks have been trying to reverse engineer what **seems** to the the same color...

https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1269...r-recipes.html

I'll keep looking.

UPDATE: this thread seems to have it? OB5?

I got confirmation from the Porsche zuffenhausen factory that it’s this code OS8

Thanks everyone!

1NM is the option code for the dark silver wheel finish on a 992GT3. Its not a color code. I read through the entire thread that wotaskd provided about and the 0B5 color code which was called Platinum Silver on various other Porsche wheels is likely the closest if not identical paint code. Someone even provided the actual Glasurit formula attached so this can be used to refinish or get touch up paint made.

Here is also a link for a touch up paint kit of 0S8 listed by a european company COLORNDRIVE

Thanks eclou! I’m doing the exact same thing. I even went so far as to consider getting the winter wheel package to get that color wheel but they are narrower wheels.
The paint color says Dark Silver Met… I hope the Met doesn’t mean Metallic since it clearly is not a metallic color.
When are you getting them painted? I’m still 2 weeks from delivery and would love to see your wheels when you’re done. They are definitely my favorite Porsche wheel.

I got my car back. Wheels were painted OS8, but it seems much darker than I expected. What do you guys think?

In the shadows it is much darker than the closeup picture. The closeup is spot on to what I would expect

I'm looking all over to see what paint is available in OS8 - so far the only one I can find is Spies Hecker, which is fairly expensive. I'm trying to find an equivalent in Chromabase, or some other more reasonably-priced paint. Here is the formula for the Spies Hecker - $750 / gal plus $150 / gal for reducer . . I plan on using a satin clear aircraft polyurethane - indestructible.
