Suggestion
Ceramic coat should work well just do not powder coat them they will stain easier I did that for my green race car wheels and brake dust stained them brake use on a race car way above street use but you get the idea.

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.

Getting these wheels refinished for my white 996.1 c2.
Not sure to stay with Porsche color, or go with something different.
What you think would look best nowadays..?
The Weiss Gold,, Anthracite, BBS Diamond Black all look so good.
How to make a decision..
What would look best with the Biarritz White/lobster interior car..?
Is this the BBS Diamond black..?
Wei� Gold would be a good complement to your interior and Biarritz. Is your top black? If so, black centers with polished lip might look proper. I’m a sucker for Porsche black center caps.
If they get painted professionally with a few hard coats and clear yea the dust shows but those wheels design are not very hard to clean. If cleaning wheels is a concern go black 😀

Thanks for all the replies guys, all of them are good choices.
Would like to try white but the old timer in me says stay with more conservative standard Porsche colors... Might have to find a good deal on another set of wheels to try out other options.
Will talk to my wheel refinisher/powder coat company in Deerfield and see if the Weiss Gold or Anthracite is available. Leaning towards Anthracite today, yesterday it was gold.... lol
He did say a special color other than Porsche oem would be extra...
Got a new set of TW200 tires on close out from Tire Rack for $700 to put on the newly finished rims. Love sticky tires on the 996. Nice thing about the Deerfield wheel refinisher guy is he mounts and balances the tire on his newly refinished wheels so he's responsible for any scratches/damage to the new finish...
Might be worth finding someone or paying someone to Photoshop in the different color options to some side photos of your car.
For me, gold looks either absolutely amazing, or horrible (gaudy), depending on the exact color of gold selected. The Weiss gold is so light, it seems unlikely to have the risk of looking bad. I love the Anthracite color looking just at the wheel, but not sure how it goes with white (or if the wheels might look like dirty silver on the car). Silver is universal for a reason. No bad choices among those three.
I personally don't like black wheels, or white color matching. My brother had white Fuchs on his 1975 white 911 and we both couldn't find a way to like the white wheels. The only thing that matters is you like the color, but I'd say getting someone to photoshop in the colors on your car/wheels would be worth the time/effort.
I’ve recommend Plastidip before to people to turnout a color.
I‘m hesitant to suggest having silver wheels painted black.
A friend of mine plastidipped his turbo twist wheels black at my suggestion.
After a few months he had them powder coated black.
There are many colors to choose from.
I’ve considered painting my wheels gold to see if they look good with my Seal Grey.
Another friend put gold wheels on his grey BMW and I was certain it would look horrible, but when I saw them I really liked them.
But now I’m hesitant to go gold with my 996.
Gold just requires very careful selection of the color. I hate probably 4 out of 5 gold wheeled cars I see, but the 1 out of 5 that I like I really love. I definitely wouldn't do gold on any car without someone photoshoping the gold options.
I had a highly modified Datsun 510 in high school circa 1980. At that time, BBS gold wheels were all the rage. I don't think BBS made wheels that fit the 510 and I couldn't afford BBS in high school anyway, so I ordered Cobra brand BBS-style wheels. The Cobra gold was slightly different than BBS. I'm pretty certain the BBS gold color would have looked great, but I didn't like the slightly different color gold on the Cobra wheels at all after I put them on. Too difficult to ship the special order wheels back in those days for a judgement error on my part, so I lived with them. It's a
very
fine line between which golds work and which don't.
I don't know, my vote would be to go for the gold! I suspect that light Weiss gold is pretty safe in terms of not looking out of place. Would be good to see it photoshopped though.
Well, they came out a little on the dark side.... what ya think...?
They get dirty fast, just gone maybe 50 miles and they need to get washed already. but they do clean up easy,,,,
True that... I do like it, just that...
Second guessing myself,,, maybe should of gone with the Weiss Gold color...
Those TW 200 tires are sticky, sure picks up all road debris and it sticks to tire....lol
Since you're asking for opinions, I'll give you mine. I don't like them. I'm not a big fan of the wheel to begin with, and the dark color on white, just meh. I'd get some of the 408s or 413s, Turbo twists, or Fuchs.
Save the gold until you've had these awhile. Need to see them in different lighting. I like them. I like the contrast. I have a set of Apex wheels in Anthracite waiting for tires. Now I have an idea what they'll look like on the white car. Waiting for the next, if ever, company bonus to fit them up.
