I just bought a spare set of turbo twist wheels for my silver 2002 996 tt and plan on having them powder coated black. I am struggling on going with satin or gloss black. I would appreciate opinions and or pictures opinions.

I'm not at all a fan of black wheels, but that being said, I'd go for satin or semi-gloss before I went full gloss.

I forgot to add semi gloss. Thanks...definitely a good in between

These were gloss, I think the flat black looks way better.

No gloss with polish.

I agree the flat black looks good on a black car, just not so sure about on a silver one.

Is that flat black with polish?

JG 996T

Not sure. Just know its not gloss. Here's the link

You might consider a med/dark shade of graphite rather than black for a silver car. Definitely flat instead of gloss.

Flat black looks much nicer, and I agree with the previous post that a dark gray might look even better.

personal taste IMO. Not sure how we can decide your personal taste?

Mine are gloss.

I went with black wheels on my Jeep, but silver BBS on the 911. Not a fan of black wheels on a silver car, but on a black or yellow car they rock. Black wheels on a silver car seem to give it a heavy look down low...anyway...just my opinion.

I am going to powder coat my turbo twists in Gunmetal. My friend just finished a '73 IROC RSR clone with lots of gun metal powder coating in the engine bay, valve covers, cooling fan, etc. I couldn't find an example of Gunmetal turbo twists, but this picture gives an idea of the color.

Are those wheels GT3 or Carrera sports?

Those are GT3s
