Wheels painted in satin aurum
I would like to have white gold or bronze wheels. Porsche is offering satin aurum wheels but they are quite expensive. I can paint the original wheels to my color for 1/3 of that price and I get perfect color paint match for scratches.
How would you decide and why?

For me, I base my decisions on; quality, convenience, and originality......and probably in that order. I rarely make a buying decision based on price. Value is much more important than price.
Hard to beat OE wheels for quality of the finish.
To me, getting a new car, and then having to get the car to a place for wheel painting would be a major hassle. Car away from home. Lack of use for a couple/few days. Wheels off car, wheels back on car. Tires dismounted, tires remounted. Just too much that can go wrong. I'd rather just buy the wheels (factory OE or high quality aftermarket) in the finish I wanted.
I'd want my build sheet and window sticker to match the delivered wheel finish.
If none of this matters to you, get 'em painted.
