Looks awsome!! I have been considering the exact same thing. As well as using plastidip for matte black wheels.

It looks good but this old man has spent countless hours getting a smooth shine and the idea of a matte color defeats the purpose. Well, at least for me.

Just my $.02
Agreed. From a purely aesthetic point of view, ride height and wheel stance is far more important on a car like the 996 than any other factor. From the factory they sit far too high and have way too much wheel gap. Fix those things on a 996 and it will look good.

I considered matte white vinyl for my second wrapped car but stuck with the matte black. The white looks fantastic but it's hard enough to keep the black from water staining. You must dry the car immediately and let no standing water sit or it will stain. I have been super meticulous with mine and still have staining, though you can't really see it unless you look closely. If it were white, I'd be screwed.

Cost wise, a quality wrap will cost a minimum of $2000 and typically goes for much more. Still cheaper than a paint change and you don't ruin the value of the car. Change your mind, just remove the wrap.

OP's car will be transformed to something very cool when he drops it and gets some spacers.

Agree on the stance idea. Considering some wraps take into forged wheel territory regarding costs, it is a difficult decision.
