Is it the factory diamond black finish or let you repaint it in gun metal? (Gorgeous color anyway)

Hello Rudy!

thanks for your answer! It's always better to get it later than never

i have a similar set but the rear is "only" 18*10" not so deep as yours. Beside this mine is in factory silver but would liike to repaint diamond black. ny idea about the color code/paint code for that color?

There's a strange thing. I was just looking at the latest post to this "thread of all wheel threads" and wanted to scroll back and read what I wrote in reply to your post of this jaw-dropping Speedster gathering pic's, only to apparently find my post didn't actually post to the thread. Dammit! I wonder what I was thinking ...

Well, here an now, I have to say I'm all the more impressed by the 997.2 Speedster. It's far less bloated and modern day, to flatter it, "bath-tub" than I remembered it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the curves and outstanding presence of your car. I keep feeling like saying something stupid like "tell me who built this car and tell them to take my money!" Well, my eyes are bigger than my wallet, but at the very least, I look at those wheels and wonder about a set in a muted anthracite to compliment the Polar Silver Metallic on the Turbo S vented flanks of my "project" born of a GT2 and an RS sort of thing with the fashion sense of a Turbo S (?) Would those "of yet another father" wheels be eclectic modern day Fuchs or "that's not a Sport Classic" or just "eek!" ?

I'd LUV to see your project car, plus some photo-chopped wheels to show what you're after -- sounds sweet!

In the meantime: hope you enjoy another wheel / Speedster comparison pic of the world's 1st gathering representing one of each model Porsche produced: 356, G Model, 964, 993, 997.
It was shot during pre-positioning, by the ocean at Dana Point, CA's Lantern Bay Park for the 356 Club's Concours d'Elegance:
