For those of you who have WeissGold (white gold) wheels…when they’re full of brake dust, do they just look tan or brown? I’m considering painting my base .2 titanium wheels this color, but my brakes shed so much dust that I’m worried the wheels will just constantly look beige/tan/brown.
I have Weissgold wheels but also factory PCCB pads/rotors, so there isn't too much dust to speak of on my street driven 997.2 3RS. I'm curious how they look when seriously dirty too, so would be curious to hear from others with iron brakes and non PCCB pads.

I gave up on my search for info and just had them refinished in the standard EP8 titanium. But given the color of brake dust and the weissgold wheels, I do think they would look sort of tan, which wasn’t something I was interested in.
They don't look tan. They look gold with dust. Lol. I mean, really no different than other wheels in that respect. I ceramic coat mine to make it easy to "maintenance" clean them between washes.

Dang, you have an alignment machine in your home garage???

Hi, great looking .2. What size Cup 2s are you running front and rear? Thanks
thanks for the response. Is there a reason you didn’t go 325/30/19 in the rear?
Couple reasons. This car tends to push in the front, and a wider rear section with front staying at stock size would only exacerbate the understeer. Also when I bought, 305 was the only matching N0 spec. They had 315s, but those were N1s, which have a different sidewall profile than the N0.

I see you put some E07s on your car and they look perfect. I’ve have a set on order, and have been waiting over a year!
Are you still running the same size tires you were on the stock rims?

Yes! I'd been looking for a track wheel set, and these cropped up. I'm in love with them. Don't think there's a more perfect wheel for these cars. Doubt I'll ever put the stock wheels back on.
These are 18", so sizing is different. Widths are similar. If you're getting 19s, you should be able to run the same sizes.
