Going to refinish my P101 from polish to either gloss black or satin bronze or ....

wanted to to see what the consensus would be on what would look best on my new 991.2 tts. Normally I wouldn't do gloss but with the gloss black aero kit and black top I think gloss black would be the safest bet.

Only reason I am considering a different color is so they don't look like OEM wheels. Let me know what you guys think and if you think I should go with a different color or texture let me know which one.

 

Dark clear brushed, not bronze.

 

Dark brush tinted clear or Satin charcoal.

I have satin charcoal P104's on my white R8 with black carbon and I get so many double takes on the finish.

 

gunmetal or classic bright silver (high gloss).

i actually think the p101 would look amazing with the partial brushed aluminum finish (like the oem turbo wheel) based on its spoke design.

for sure high gloss black will 100% be safe and will look good.

 

We have over 80 finishes to select from, so it can be daunting to select just the right finish. I agree though, Gloss Black would be a good choice as it works well with the other Gloss Black pieces on the car. Me on the other hand, being that it's a white car, would probably do something flashy as currently my HRE's are Frozen Polished Dark Clear and Brushed Purple, but of the more subtle and classy finishes, this is probably more along the lines of what you're looking for:

Brushed Titanium:


Brushed Dark Clear:


Brushed Clear:


Satin Bronze - Thought I would throw this in specifically for cliffd

 

Clear

 

I vote for gloss black.

 

Any regrets? Those look like 20 or is it the black on black tires making them look smaller than they are?

 

​​​​​Yup, they are 20's. R101. Would have gone with 21's but I wanted Michelins since we get enough rain here in NY during spring and fall. No regrets.

Do you have anything like the Brushed Titanium but a lot darker?

Brushed Titanium:

 

Darker but still with a Satin Finish on top? Not really, but Satin Charcoal may be half a shade darker. Here's an example of a P201 in Satin Charcoal up close:



Wheels we finish with a GLOSS clear coat instead of SATIN appear darker. An example would be looking at the difference between Satin Charcoal which you see above, and Gloss Charcoal which you see here:



Despite the Gloss Charcoal looking slightly darker, it's the same powdercoat which is applied, only the clear coat changes. Aside from Gloss Black, the darkest finish we have is going to be Gloss Charcoal. I would say Brushed Dark Clear, but because the aluminum shines from underneath the coating itself, it makes it look lighter especially in sunlight. Here's an example of how dark and how light our Brushed Dark Clear can get in different lighting:

thanks for the info. ill contact Jon with my decision once they wheels arrive at your location!

 

My only issue with the blacks is that they hide the details on the wheels. I went with clear brushed gold on my HRE set.

 

 

gold or bronze are my favorites for a white P-car
