Looking For: Pics of Seal Gray 986 & 996 w/ Carrera II Lightweight 18" wheels that have been finished in non-stock colors Next week I am having my wheels refinished, and am toying with staying stock silver, or trying something else. I've been considering: Stock Silver (Need a paint code...) Gloss black/metallic gloss black Seal Gray color matched Ceramica like 2024 911 S/T option - Porsche OEM Neodyme light gold - Porsche OEM Satin/Gloss Platinum Gray - Porsche OEM 550 Spyder Replica in Seal Gray (Silver lip) 550 Spyder Replica in contrast color (black, red, white etc) (Silver lip) Ive found some images from way back on other-color 9X6 cars like bright gold on black, and plenty of stock/OEM pictures. There's a few cars out there that have had dark gray powdercoats - including that track setup 986.2 S sold out of Indiana a few years back - but I am looking for more recent ideas. I've been searching on multiple forums and Google/Bing for some months and it seems many pics are no longer hosted. If you've got any on your phone, old thumb drive or even a camera card I would love to see them!! I know there's some cool stuff out there that isn't posted. Pic of mine for attention:

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.

Some ideas I've liked:
2004 SE GT Silver Wheels are Seal Grey center with Artic Silver lip I believe
2003 S Seal Grey Wheels are stock silver, not sure of the color

These look great! Car is arctic silver?
It's a 550 SE edition which is painted in GT Silver. The wheels are Seal Grey with an Artic Silver (l believe) lip. The last pic is a different car which painted Seal Grey with stock silver wheels.

Right got all that, I didn’t see the brown top in your post first pic which is the giveaway it’s a 550 not an arctic with 550 wheels. Anyone else got some painted Carrera IIs? Would love to see them! Even on 996s. A wild combo would be great to see, just for inspiration.
I made some color options as it doesn't seem anyone has really done anything that interesting with these wheels for either 986 or 996s. If anyone sees this and has pics of something theyve either seen or done, please share! Neutrals: Golds: [B] Colors: [/B
