M9G UK Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Having my wheels powder coated in a couple of weeks time but cant decide if to go with the standard silver or go for the dark silver. base coated black then silver on top gives it a greyer darker silver. Quite a popular choice at the moment. Whats think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Rare green, nice! I'd stick with standard myself but only you can really make that call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

map Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 There is (was?) a Porsche Family Green used on special builds for them. A quick search will show that colour (it’s a dark green) and that these cars always seemed to have silver wheels. Am all for tweaks and personalisation but on your car as pictured I’d go for silver for the wheels and maybe the Porsche crest on the wheel centres recoloured dark green. Will be too subtle for most to see but sometimes those changes are the sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what your saying, green and gold always looks good, I. E.

M9G UK Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Thankyou for all your comments. For those I haven't clicked like on their comments, I tried but the forum says I've used up all my likes for today, odd but OK so Thankyou anyway. I always thought silver but at the simply porsche event at Beaulieu at the weekend there were quite a few porsche with the darker silver and it looks nice but I think silver is the way to go Cheers 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No blue option for the UK market back in 1996 when I bought it. BIG oversight by International Motors (Office UK Subaru Importer) IMHO, but it is the original darker green only on pre-facelift cars. Still suited me, my contracting business back then was BRG Technical Ltd and the plate on the car P555 BRG. BTW sub 10 mins for full lap.

Mattman42 Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 matt - as discussed on Sunday, black or body coloured centres with a polished lip would look awesome against the green - something like this If you want to modernise the look, anthracite wheels look pretty good too, but you have to get the shade right, not too dark Or gold - but with your design of wheel, i'd be tempted by the anthracite above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
