The Porsche 992 Aftermarket Wheel Thread
#871
You probably have to live with the weights where they are now. First I would call the wheel vendor for advice. This is probably (and sadly) common.
The wheel vendor may have a pantone number (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantone) or better yet, see if they will sell you some touch up paint... then swab it on the weights... At least that''s what I would do.
RealChewy Those wheels are exactly what I am looking my Agate 992. Any model details and color ?
Really beautiful.

could you post more pics of your car with your new wheels? I’ve reached out to Jeffrey at Aston also and will be ordering when I get my GTS allocation

Thank you, I will. Yes, I went with Jeffery’s recommend and I am pretty happy with how they sit.

Double posting on here and the Carerra T thread forum. Just wanted to give a shout out to Jake at Meisterwerk Racing Co. He's one of the wheel advertisers on this forum. I,ve owned my Carerra T for approximately a year now and it's been so fun to follow everyone's journey of taking possession and enjoying these wonderful cars.
No regrets on selecting shark blue for the color, but I always thought it kind of dominated the agate grey in the Carerra wheels. I was super impressed with @wilder on his custom wheel design and wanted to do something very similar. I reached out to Jake at Meisterwerk Racing after seeing his IG advertisement and told him I wanted a OEM looking GT3 type wheel in OEM Poesche silver. Converting a CL wheel into a 5 lug is tricky, but I think Jake nailed it. @Wilder perfectly selected the offsets of 38 and 57 for his gorgeous wheels and I copied those for a stock tire size fitment.
The design process was enjoyable, Jake is a very nice guy and communicates well. His prices for a fully forged cutom wheel are super competitive. Fit and finish and over all quality are excellent, I'm super impressed. I weighed the wheels and they are indeed light. The front 20" wheels weigh 23lbs and the rear 21" wheels are 28lbs.
Here are a few pics of the wheels on the car. If I can answer anymore questions, please let me know. And if you're thinking about a quality forged custom made wheel.....contact Jake ASAP!

I'm a Ruby Star Neo owner and I'm shopping for wheels right now. I feel the wheel color needs a bright silver to create a bit more contrast. Black is okay but I feel it hides wheel design...
