Default Powder coat quick ideas DONE PICTURE

Planning to powder coat my C Classic wheels black. Either glossy - like Turbo S - or satin - like 991 50 yr anniversary Fuchs

Only the gray portion. Will leave polished elements as is

Thoughts?

I have those wheels in gloss black. Check the 992 art thread for pics.

There’s a guy on Instagram carrera992s_ who’s done what you’re asking.

I prefer full gloss black tbh.

I was going to do mine in Gloss Black, opted for a set of the FF11 in satin black instead. I may still strip and coat them anyways. The only turnoff for me is the extremely weak offset. I did do spacers to correct. Ultimately prefer to run without.

I would totally do those wheels in full gloss. I looked into HRE FF's, but I fancy the FF04 model and it seems they dont make that model for Porsche. And Im with you on spacers. I prefer not to have them *** well.

I had my OEM Carrera classics powder coated gloss black. I'll be selling them as soon as my new wheels come in if anyone is interested.

I had black wheels on my last 911 and would never do it again. The brake dust and road dirt makes them look really bad really quickly. They look great right after a wash but it wouldn’t take long for them to look like they have jaundice.

Agreed 100%. They’re nearly as bad as white.

I imagine that was a laborious task for the powder coater taping up all those lines.

It came out great !
