Hi folks,

Welcome some input please.

18-months in and keen to change the colour of my 991.1 S wheels which are Sport Design III in gloss black. I’m not massive on the wheel spec esp in silver so have already ruled out that option. I’ve taken it to an alloy shop in Herts and even they struggled with suggestions given the wheel spec doesn’t seem to suit gold/bronze particularly well. Any ideas? Agate is lovely but does limit my options somewhat.

Cheers

Not black which IMHO Looks awful
but try something like Titanium Metallic as on the Carrera T

Is the first photo titanium metallic?

Ignore. I understand. Feels a tad same same as the agate. OEM I’m mixed on with these wheels and agate.
 
What about these (although you would need new wheels) ?

They look great but, you’re right, would require changing the wheels and I’m leaning towards changing the colour of the existing set.
 
I'm not a fan of black wheels, but you could consider a satin finish over gloss?

Try having a chat with Mark @ Whoopswheelfixit, highly recommended!
 
Amazing, thank you. They’re only half-hour from me. Will contact Mark, cheers.
 
Saw Mark this morning (before the rain came hammering down). For agate, suggested black, silver or gold and given I already have black and don’t fancy silver with these wheels, we looked at some gold ranges. Welcome some thoughts.

We were leaning towards the darker of the three to keep it subtle. It’s a bespoke ‘ Lamborghini bronze dark’ in satin.

gold rocks!!!! they will look great against the agate - id go for the mint shade though, they will look darker once a trye has been fitted plus a bit of brake dust will affect that too
