Default Photos of re-painted RS Spyder Wheels

Good afternoon all. I recently took delivery of my Midnight Blue 992 C4S with RS Spyder Wheels, and I love them but hate the silver beading around the edge of the wheel. I am thinking I might get them painted, but what colour? I noted that a few of you on here had gloss black RS Spyder's? Could you help me by posting your photos please? I am considering matt black, very dark bronze and maybe just keeping the original colour but painting over the beading? Thoughts and photos would be very much appreciated.

Very many thanks,

Tom

Hello all. So after a lot of research and thinking, I went for matte black wheel. Here is a sneak peek with more photos to come once they are on the car....

Not the exact same wheels, but close to get a perspective in gloss black.. The bottom pic is from a macan, which I think was an option in gloss black, I did not see a pic of a 992 or 911 with these in gloss black (not the same exact RS Spyder wheels anyway).

This is exactly what I wanted...was disappointed the RS wheels weren't available in black. All taste of course, but agree with you on the silver bead. I went for the standard wheel in satin black, which I'm happy with. Now that you have the RS's, go for it! I'm sure your blue could take bling the gloss or the subtle of satin, depending on what you're going for...would look great either way. Good luck!

Aren't the wheels powder coated? I don't think you really want to repaint them... maybe I'm wrong?

Sorry - not exactly wheel close ups - this is my friends car. I've got the standard Carerra S wheels as I think they better match with the aluminium window trim.

He went with a satin black finish, btw.

Dam that looks good with the blue. Thanks, any idea where he got them done?

What are you thoughts on these light gold/bronze wheels?

Hi @findtom - at Porsche Bournemouth. Agreed to do on delivery when ordered, and they have agreed to cover under warranty.
