Suggestion
Have done exactly that by replacing the existing original 911 GTS (991) alloys with a replacement set and having them diamond cut with a satin finish - super happy and can imagine the new look will trigger some opposing comments…..

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.

Has anybody done this please? Is the 992 GTS wheel exactly the same as the Turbo S wheel apart from the finish? Thinking about doing it and just wanted to check if it was possible? Would it be easy to change back to OEM again if need be? Any recommendations for a company who could do this who would be familiar with the Turbo S finish I’m after? Any advice appreciated thank you

They look to be diamond cut. If they are, don't do it. You'll be better off getting them all silver, plus they'll look better.
Can I ask why you wouldn't go for the diamond cut please? Just appearance or another reason? I prefer this look than all silver.

Diamond cut is a pain to refinish is they get damaged in any way.
Good question and a lot is down to personal taste……

…..(can swop out these wheels with the satin all black finish to retain its original heritage……)
It’s probably the only one like it…..
As mentioned, Turbo wheels are diamond cut and you'll probably find the 'chrome' part of the wheel is flat whereas the face of the spokes on the GTS wheels are more rounded. This is because they paint the whole Turbo S wheel on black then put the wheel on a lathe and remove some of the face of the spokes and rim revealing the alloy. They then apply lacquer which gives the finish you see in picture 2.
The issue you'll have when returning to stock is that you'll notice the flat face of the alloy. Also, the gloss black of the Turbo wheels is super soft and will scratch unless you have them ceramic coated and even then there is no guarantee they wont mark. If you find a reputable alloy wheel refurbishment centre, they shouldn't corrode.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
