FWIW, while it might not be an exciting name, "Satin Platinum" sounds fine. It's descriptive of the product: platinum with a satin finish.
If you're looking for another name, you might want to give some thought to:
- Badassinum;
- Platisatin (check with your doctor before taking as frequent use may cause obesity in pregnant women, pink elephants (if taken with hallucinogens), infertility in post menopausal patients, and death;
- Thankfully Not Black or Silver; or
- Electric Boogaloo (might want to do a trademark check on this one first)
Great looking wheels! Oh, and no need to credit me if you use any of the names I've suggested.

Contrary to what TireRack says, the car came with Contisports which were utter crap (terrible ride and wear pattern). Since then we've had PS2s on it and never had a complaint other than the price. I've had too much trouble changing tires on other cars that I'm just sticking with what works for us regardless of the price.
When/If they ever kill off the PS2 line, then I'll **** and moan and find a new tire to use

the michelin PS2's on my C4S have 9K miles and still have 75% remaining tread. why have they been difficult to find? - some fellow RLers having tough time locating a set.

In my experience trying to get a set in the middle of the summer can be a challenge, but if you need to buy a set in the winter it's a bit easier to find them. I attribute that to less people using them and therefore needing to replace them at that time of year.

Wheels came today, but work kept me from getting the car dropped off in time for them to get installed today 
Swung by on the way home to take a peak and they are sweet looking. Not sure if I'll like the look against a black car though. Might be too dark for our tastes.
Hmmmm... Wonder if they'd fit the P!g? That color would rock against its dark blue. Maybe I should give Eli a call Monday to see about some RS Spyders in this color

These will fit the 996, 928, 944 and 993 so you are in good shape all the same..
Can't wait to see photos, outside in the sun it will transform the look, inside they appear to be darker...

P!g is the pet name for the Cayenne. I have a 958 diesel (the 996 is hers), ordered it with the black trim, then installed the Turbo bumper and black headlights and tail lights. A set of the 20" RS Spyder wheels in this color would look spectacular against it's Dark Blue Metallic
I can't bring myself to stomach the cost of them (before any refinishing)

Finally! Sorry for the delay.
I'm still not sure the coloring suits our taste on a black car, but they look amazing.
I'm shocked how much difference .5" of width on the front wheels makes to the steering feel. I've experienced that before, but that was a 2" jump. Much crisper
Yes the wheels are the only clean thing about the car. Bite me
