Default 992 GTS - powder coated wheels?

I have an agate grey GTS on the way and was wondering if anyone had pictures of the wheels powder coated to a different color. I personally feel silver wheels on agate flows a little bit better

I think silver is a a great choice. Specifically Porsche Brilliant Silver (8Z8)

I would recommend paint over powder coat. Paint offers a richer and brighter finish. Paint is easier and cheaper to repair (a wheel repair shop only needs to perform touch-up vs re-powder coating an entire wheel in the event of damage). And powder coating can potentially weaken the wheel.

I only paint my wheels when wanting to do a color change.

Prismatic Powders Porsche Silver

I'm very happy with the powder coat, it's glossy and looks terrific. Powder is cured between 325-400F from 15-25 minutes, insufficient to alter the properties of the aluminum alloy. Powder is said to be more durable than paint, but as pointed out, paint is easier to touch up.
