Painting Wheels

I am thinking about painting my wheels, does anyone have a white 997tt with the following:

1) turbo wheels painted white
2) turbo wheels painted white w/black stripe around lip
3) turbo wheels painted black
4) turbo wheels painted black w/white stripe around lip

Unless it's a garage queen and you have ceramics, forget white painted wheels.

Though they do look stunning, they are a bitch to keep white. Maybe black w/white stripe - go with satin black.

5) turbo wheels painted anthracite?

Same colors like in this F430 Scuderia

I think 997 Turbo wheels could look cool in that color

slykmr is an unknown quantity at this point
Def do Satin or gloss black. Matte black is a bitch to clean!! Especially given the dust the front brakes create! I had textured satin on my HRE's and they were not too hateful. Forget the white stripe though unless you want to clean the wheels religiously. Then again all this is based on the assumption you dont have PCCB's.

Satin black would look great, thing white stripe maybe but paint the front lip white as well INMO and put the grills back to black
