I took my GTS for a roadtrip. Just arrived in Cannes for a holiday. Love the roads in this area.

I'm famous (kinda)
The other day, PORSCHE official Instagram account shared me and my son's photo from the 70th anniversary event with Porsche Club Istanbul. It's got 285K likes.
What a great memory for me and my son. Maybe some of you have seen it ?

OZ Ultraleggera - Centres
Hi Clubber... did you remove the black centre "ring" when you painted the wheels? Easy to remove? Or did you have to mask? I notice rivets or screws (from a screenshot... courtesy of your video )
Appreciate any tips. With limited colour choice (currently in-stock), I will need to get a set of Ultraleggera's painted - from silver to all black or black spokes with polished or silver lip. The latter to return to a more classic look. Just not sure how that might look since the spokes protrude right onto the lip, hmmmm.

Hi,
Yes, we took them off. Very easy to do. Just three alen screws.
Regardig color, it depends on your car’s color. I only like black wheels with black or dark grey cars. Lighter wheel shades show the design a bit better

My GTS Cab is white. Since I posted my question, I considered going solid gun metal. Perhaps a touch darker than the "platinum" wheels on 991 GT3's (and GT4's). You have a great point - although the Ultra's look great in black, going lighter will indeed highlight the its design better.
Much thanks!!!

That is awesome to be recognized by Porsche! Just found you on IG and added you.
Also,
The OZ wheels look great and I agree that the RS fitment with 12" rears looks much better than the 19x11 fitment recommended by the Tire Rack and others. When I had these wheels I ran the 19x12s as well and wouldn't have it any other way!
