I just installed the SSR GT3 wheels (bright satin) and bought the center caps (colored) from the dealership. It looks awesome, but here is the thing.

The center caps are silver, while the wheels have the bright satin finish. Its not that noticable from far, but when viewed up close, it can get a bit contrasting.
For those with these wheels, what center caps did you use?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Here is a pic of how they look up close.

 

I am looking at buying these wheels too. Since the outer lip is polished I am worried it will show scratches, etc. easily. will drive my car in the snow too so the salet may harm the lip. Does anyone know if you can order the lips chromed?

Your wheels look awesome. How about a pic of the entire car?

Here's ours, not much better I am afraid. We were unable to get Porsche to make us a cap for the satin paint - only silver. I have had customers buy touch-up paint that's a close color and spray them, though.

 

Nobody I sell these wheels to drives them in the snow, and I wouldn't either. They will corrode for sure. We only import them with polished lips and they won't come apart once built.

 

Hmmm..sounds like a good idea..

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. Maybe i'll look at a more durable wheel.

Don't paint the color ones. Sell them and buy some silver and black ones and spray them.

Those look great....my fav.

Hard to keep clean or what? Break dust would be a pain in all those nooks and cranies.

 

Anyone have any close up pics of the satin finish SSR GT3 mounted w/ colored center cap painted?

 

its not satin though...its arling's custom paint

 

We can paint the wheel caps to match the centers or any other finish (assuming you have the paint code). We can do it so the crest is still the same:

 

I do not have the paint code for the wheels, either. Darn. You'd probably have to have a paint shop do a scan on them to get an exact match.
