Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My friend was brave and let me Dip his Boxster's wheels gold. We went with gold because he has a dark brown interior and top. I was nervous doing the gold,but i think it came out great,and makes the car stand out more.
looks good, even though its just a thin rubber/plastic coating...lol
funny thing is my H3's wheels were getting all beat up and scratched so i Plasti diped mine to see how black would look lon my wheels and i have yet to take it off to actualy get them powder coated...
To put some finishing touches on this thread, there are few things that can make sounds describrd. Each has to be looked at, or uf u do full bore approach, do all at once to fix sounds issue.
1. Lower control arms - known culprit, squeak or thud when going over bumps. You can inspect and see bushings tears. Fix is to replace control arms.
2. Upper control arms - known culprit, squeaks over bumps. Will be hard to inspect bushings as they are obstructed. There is process to inspect on cayenne section. If you replaced lower control arms, and sounds still present, replace the upper control arms. Plus read next point.
3. Upper shock mount bushings - known culprit in air suspension, clunking sound over bumps, especially low speed. These are rubber stops inside each shock. They are supposed to keep internals aligned, but if they get worn, internals of shock stary flopping around, hence clunking sound. Remedy is to replace said bushings. I have a diy from cayenne section on how to do this. Not hard, and if youre doingupper control arms, you have to remove air shocks, giving you perfect opportunity to to replace.
4. Sway bar bushings - not as common for squeaks. Easy to replace, but i would do thease aftervabove 3 are addressed. I have diy on sway bar bushing repair on here in cayenne section, i think.
5. Sway bar links - not as common for squeaks, easy to replace. If i reolace sway bar bushings, might as well do th ese too, cheap and need removal to change sway bushings.
After fixing my cayenne which has similar noises, thst users ovserve and repair, i would tackle these noises in shown order. Very doable as diy.

if you have a nice even thick coat it comes off quite easy...
when i did my H3 wheels i just stuffed paper napkins in the spokes
to protect the brakes and sprayed away. after it dryed i just peeled the overspray off from the tires and it came off in almost one whole piece.
Now i don't ever think I would do it to the wheels on my porsche but if you see me with black HRE's ...LOL
But if i did ever do it I would never post about to tell ya'll guys to prevent the mockery!!
How far into the inside of the barrel did you spray dip the wheels. Thinking of doing this on my MY02 wheels. The barrels (inside rim) are very visible, especially the wider rears.
My concern is that when the barrels aren't coated in brake dust, it will look odd to have a bronze face, and then dull silver barrels.
I imagine it would take quite a bit of time to spray the barrel of each wheel completely.
Honestly,I think doing the inside of the wheels are a waste of time. Once they are on the car there is a shadow that really takes away the view of inside the wheel. Even if you had gold wheels that where gold all around,they would be black after a couple hundred miles.
