Had it done through the dealership. The dealer recommended a local place that they have used...called them talked a little and determined that they were well qualified for the job.

I am looking to get my RS Spyder wheels PC'd black as well. Just wondering about the centercaps. Did you all buy the gloss satin black centercaps for the Carerra S wheels? Thanks

Porsche will recommend the gloss black ones because they are the only size and type (flat) that fit your wheels. However.... My OPC found that Boxster Matte black ones also fit the RS Spyder wheels. They are con-curved instead of being flat (and matte) and I actually prefer them. I'll post a close up later.

This is an awesome look. Can you share where you got the matching center cap? (Or did the shop paint it also?)

I had my Spyder wheels powder coated satin black. I had to buy the satin black center caps from Suncoast. They were a perfect match.

Check out this video of a 992 cs2 cab with powder coated RS Spyder wheels. I've watched it a few times because that is exactly what I want.

Suncoast order made. Question. Is your 992 lowered? Prefect stance

I do agree the RS Spyder wheels are one of Porsche's best. Totally upgrade in a positive way every car I've seen them on from an SUV to each sports car. Must have option on my 992! Definitely makes the car! Just wish they optioned them from the factory in different colors maybe silver, gold, gray-platinum satin like my previous platinum satin Carrera S wheels on my 981 Cayman S. Those were nice also.

I have Spyder standard wheels on my 911 and for me they are the biggest mistake in my configuration. They looked nice in the showroom but after 2 or 3 days of driving they look very dirty and make the whole car look dirty. That look may change if they are coated with another color. I bought a garden type gallon spray bottle and every few days spray the wheels to get all the dirt off and they look good most of the time now.
