Default Real World Pictures of RS Spyder Wheels

I have really been struggling on wheel choice for my order. I really like how the 992 looks with the RS Spyders but I am worried about difficulty of cleaning and how they look when dirty. Pictures are mostly of clean cars and wheels. Would love to see pictures of the RS Wheels after a couple of weeks of driving. Seems like the gun metal color would hide the brake dust a bit.

Alternatively considering the Carrera Exclusive wheels painted in high gloss black. Seems they would be very easy to take care of.

Thanks in advance for the pictures!

Here is a picture of close up dirty Spyders on a dirty GT silver. I love Spyders personally...they hide a lot of road sins in between detailing.

Dirty. Mine are ceramic coated, but trust me, this is a dirty wheel. Ceramic coating makes it easier to keep them clean.

Those are the 991 wheels which aren't quite the same

Looks like they hide break dust pretty well, plus that inner lip hides the inside of the wheel. How much does the ceramic coating help? Thanks for the pics!

They clean up using just regular car wash suds. No special attention or wheel cleaner required. Nice and gentle. Totally worth doing.

992 Spyder wheels > 991 Spyder wheels

Both are nice wheels, but I prefer the harder edges and shapes of the 992 Spyder wheels.

So do I-- and now I'm convinced on ceramic coating as well (both of which I'll have on my new 992).

Have thought about going with PCCB but can’t justify it. Plus if I want to keep the track option open it does not sound like the best choice.
