there were some good pics in the standard 993 forum. Thread was titled "our turbo s" or something similar.

if you find the pics, you can PM the owner for wheel shots.

Hope dis helps..

found it and PM'd owner

very nice, any chance you have a "straight-on" view you could share?

I'm trying to duplicate the finish and the better i can see the "hypersilver metallic" the easier it will be for my painter to come close.

Paul and JOn @ Protosport in Butler, NJ have refinished a few Turbo S wheels sets for me with the "photochromatic scheme".

Isn't there a paint code for this color you can get from a dealer?

I was under the impression that they send them to, i believe it was the wheel collision center in bath pa?

Kuzi, a set of new 8x18” and 10x18” Porsche Factory Technology hollow spoke 993 Turbo S wheels (actually a metallic silver painted finish, not polished) is $4,040.00, plus shipping. It is not possible to duplicate this finish as the paint that is used does not meet EPA approval and is not available in the United States. A set of four new 993 Turbo S center caps to match is an additional $300.00.

Above message from Dave at Wheel Enhancements. I don't know how accurate it is, but I suppose if you want OEM wheels in the special edition 97' TTS finish then it doesn't look that bad cause I can't imagine Porsche has a lot left sitting on their shelves. Might be a tough to source down the line.

Not suggesting maybe there is some miscommunication, but as someone who has owned a fair # of the 993 Turbo S's, and have refinished about 2,3 sets of wheels in total to make them peerrrfeeeccttto...im going to say he is flat out wrong. i remember being told the same thing, then i remember jon @ protosport saying he found the guy who had bought the rigths to the paint codes, or something like that. i dont recall exactly what it was (about 2 years ag). thereafter we refinished about 3 full sets (12 total wheels) of wheels.
i think i paid about $1200 per set (300/wheel for the wheels, remounting, balancing, delivery, etc).

I wondered how the finish could be matched if in case the wheels ever got scuffed. Good to know SG.

Would you mind pm'ing the contact information for protosport S? TIA
