I just purchase a back up set of turbo twist wheels for my 2002 996tt and plan on having them powder coated in satin black. My question has to do with the center hub. Obviously I will have it powder coated as well, but what about the Porsche emblem? Would you black that out or keep them in stock colors so they add contrast.

Thank you, your opinion is valued!!! If anyone has some pictures please post them.

I painted mine black and took a tooth pick and painted the word turbo red and then clear coated. They still look as good as when i did them 3 years ago. These were the stock turbo caps not the Porsche emblem ones.

Are your centers metal or plastic?

I got some nice ones on ebay that are black with the Porsche crest and were inexpensive.

Mine are plastic.

They will melt in oven I would paint them to match

Yep, and plastic isn't electricaly conductive so the powder wouldn't stick before going in the oven. Have you thought about Plasti-Dip. I did mine and looks pretty good and only costs around $30 for 5 or 6 cans of Plasti-Dip.
