I'm the new owner of a 2020 CS4 with the staggered 20/21 wheels. Looking to go BRONZE for a summer set, but found that the wheels from Porsche are on unlimited back order (as stated before in this thread).
Wow - there's not a lot of options for these sizes + offsets! And I"m not into the Forged (rivets) look. I saw the OZ's in this thread and like that option. Anything else anyone sees out there in the wild?

Also, I went through the same thing with painting center caps to match the aftermarket bronze wheels I put on my 991.1. It was an extra step that was a little annoying, but was 100% worth it for the final product. (I also had to modify the OEM caps and design adapters / have them machined to make them work on the aftermarket wheels, but that's a whole different problem that you won't have)
I actually ordered a few gold swatches from Prismatic - wanted to stick with Satin Poly since several members have already gone through the exercise of finding that color (to match with Aurum, but I guess that's not a hard requirement). Did you take your center caps to a paint shop and just have them color match?

There isn't an easy way to translate from powder coating color to paint code, unfortunately, so you are on track. My wheel manufacturer had provided their own branded center caps powder coated on metal, so I provided them to a local paint shop that I trust, along with the Porsche crest center caps and they did a match to the color. It turned out really well.

Yeah that's my concern - I saw Aurum is a Glasurit color which I haven't had luck w/the local PPG shops matching (ran into this with the CSL Wheels for the E46 M3)

Thoughts on black center caps on gold wheels? Definitely works for center lock wheels, not sure how they'd look on caps.

The race gold OZ's don't appear to be available in our sizes

If you like bronze, take a look at the Vossen HF-5's - That's what I went with and I love them. Very similar to the GT3 wheel.

Quick update - ended up buying the Carrera Classics in Aurum - worked with a dealer/vendor here that was able to get PAG to manufacture a set although they were out of production!


In other news, I've got a set of white Carrera Classics for sale, with Eagle F1's and plenty of tread life

OZ are not premium wheels, dig and get some Forge Lines or HRE's.
