Default finished PC and mounting the new wheels ....

had them Powder Coated at ArmorTech ... the old guy there has over 30 years experience PC and doing other types of electroplating and metalwork ... he did a great job of taking down the curb rash ... he did mention the epoxy job that Porsche puts on these wheels is very tough and high quality .... I had them redone in the regular "Porsche Silver" .... I paid a bit high $150 per wheel, but this guy is the best in the region! ... so far it's been over 1 month ... no issues

Also ... did my brakes (myself) at a place called garageyourself ... I live in a condo ... so can't work on my auto there ... this guy is a life saver ... had all the tools necessary, rented a bay with life and tools ... he even ordered a special torque wrench so I could torque the front caliper bolts to Porsche specs!

Brembo Rotors and Brembo ceramic pads in front and Brembo Rotors and Bosch Quietcast in the back ... ALL new hardware, bolts, cables ... etc!

Nice update of hardware might just be the ticket to complete your project.





We are working on that same set, post photos when done...

The last time we did this same set here was the results.....






Gloss Black at an angle





Gloss Black face





Continued the Gloss finishing all the way through





Contact points were covered in order to have a perfect match during installation, notice the finish is nice even behind each spoke.





The final product mounted.

they look great, and price was not unreasonable. It is a bitch to strip that epoxy coating

That's my understanding ... plus the smooth PC on the inside of the rim also helps keep down the brake dust sticking

Yes, I zoomed in, they are like a metallic green? How much does your guy charge to PC per caliper?

PC is fine. I've done over 3000 sets in the last 10 years before slowing my business down. But I do refer people to wheel dynamcis now, as there are few competent shops that do them.
