Default Any way to alter the wheel

Hi,

My 992 4S reached dealership today. It was all pre-specced by the dealer and i love every thing on the car, except the wheels which i saw today. Pics below.

Question: are these too gray? If so, is there a way to “modify” them to remove the body color paint? The main spokes are silver but the rest of wheel is body colored.

I am sure they can be refinished or powder coated.

Great Fuchs-style wheels, love them. They can be altered a number of different ways, Google is your friend.

thank you. I love the wheel design. i wasnt sure of the body color in non-spoke parts in that light. Maybe i need to look again in sun.

Don't pass judgement when it's in PDI mode like that. Let the dealer take off all the plastic, remove the suspension blocks and wash the car.

Personally, I bet it will look cool and unique.

Keep in mind the wheel design is part of the original order spec on the car. Personally, I like to keep the OEM wheels and original parts so you can always return the car to stock condition. If you don't like them, I'd just get new wheels and put these in storage. But that's me.

yeah. I need to take a fresh look. I was going to get winter wheels anyway. Crazy to have three set of wheels.

My wife is so fed up with wheels. I had to rent a storage unit for all these damn wheels and car parts I had in the garage.
