Stock wheels in Black.
Has anyone powdercoated or painted their stock 997 TT wheels black? I would like to see what that would look like. I was thinking of doing it, but I'm afraid of what the results would be like. I'm getting another set of wheels and was going to do this to my stocks for my winter setup.

I saw powedercoated black wheels (GT3RS wheels) on a white 997TT and it looked NICE!

Id vote for YES.

PS: We missed ya on Saturday man...had like 40+ cars.

Do the wheels in flat black and I will guarantee you they would look drop dead gorgeous.

Looks to be about a 20% semi gloss finish. thats a nice look, a lil gloss is ok it will be easier to clean..this color is also known as matt black in the powder coating world..
