I'm thinking about refinishing the "Carrera 2" wheels on my 996 and was debating on going a different color while i'm at it. I've never been a fan of black wheels on light colored cars so I'm thinking about a grey or something along those lines. Anyone have any pics of painted 17" wheels on a silver car? (or any 996 really) my car for reference

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.

LOL if it were only that easy I tried messaging you but your inbox was full
Got it taken care of now... thanks. Let me know if you change your mind... I'm going to list them up today.
Honestly....If it where me I would save the painting a get 18's....Really changes the look of the car immensely, of course assuming you like the look of larger wheels.

im on the fence. The only reason id get 18�s is to accent a factory aero kit should I upgrade to one some day. Id really like to go down that road but not sure if its feasable in the near future considering the current garage project to-do list. Figured rather than driving around on rough 17s, a fresh paint job might do the trick. maybe i�ll just plasti-dip them for the time being?...
Searching around I stumbled on this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...cite-grey.html I'm in LOVE!!!
Wow I like that much better than black! I might do this!
