Default Carrera Exclusive Design Wheels

I noticed something that I was not previously aware of and that Porsche Build Your Car does not call out (at least that I can tell) on the options to paint the Carrera Exclusive wheels. On wheels painted Satin Black, the silver face of the wheel is a non-polished silver versus a polished silver for wheels painted high gloss black. Just an observation that someone deciding between Stain black or high gloss black might find useful. Pictures below:



Satin Black, non-polished metal.

High Gloss Black, polished metal.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea, I ordered the high gloss version, the car is due to come in the next couple weeks.

Thanks Anthony. I wasn't aware of that. I am getting a GT silver car that is not yet locked for changes and I am currently setup with the classics, but I love the exclusives and keep thinking of changing them. It looks like you have a GT silver car, or one being made, by looking at your avatar.. Did you go with satin or gloss, or stay with the base color wheel?

I went with the Satin Black as I wanted it to match the lower black trim in the front and rear of the car. Actually really like how the non-polished silver looks. Here is a different view (picking up car Wednesday).

I think the wheel faces are diamond cut and there is a difference between gloss clear coat and satin clear coat. I may be wrong though.

There are 3 options on the black - Jet Black Metallic, High Gloss Black, and Satin Black.

Anyone know how the Jet Black Metallic looks compared to the High Gloss Black? I think I'm in the Polished face looks better camp.
