I spoke with my wheel guy about this when I had my Carrera Light wheels refurbed. He said that the inner barrels of all silver painted Porsche wheels of our generation are finished with a high strength catalyst coating which is light gray in color. The exterior finish color(s) (arctic silver and seal gray in my case) is (are) never applied to inner wheel barrels from the factory. In fact, he mentioned that Porsche concours judges will dock points if the inner wheel barrels do not have the factory gray coating.
