Porsche Owner Again

Hi All,
I've returned to the Porsche family from a 33 year absence! My wife and I purchased a 2014 991 Carrera 4s last week. Unfortunately with the snow falling and away from home for Thanksgiving, I haven't had a chance to drive it much more than the drive home from the dealer.
With the few miles I have had a chance to put on it, I am very impressed with the power and handling. I'll have to report back after a few hundred miles with a update.
One thing I'm curious about and maybe someone can answer, the car is sapphire blue with light blueish painted wheels with the PORSCHE lettering on the inside of one of the rear barrels. I've looked at hundreds of photos of 991 and have not seen one other car with those colored wheels. Does the factory custom paint wheels?
I've attached the only photo I have to date, from the dealership.

Happy to be back in a Porsche!

Welcome to 6Speed! I do know that you can pay to have the wheels from factory paint matched to the exterior color. The previous owner could have had them painted though, as I'm assuming it was previously owned? Otherwise, congratulations on the purchase and if you ever need anything be sure to let me know.
