Need some advice on rim color
 
i have an '01 w/ 34k miles on it.....Porsche moduala chrome 19" rims. I sent hem out to be stripped, straightened where necessary (they had some minor dents) and now have a choice of what color they will be when they are finished. The car is black and I was thinking about going with black rims.........any suggestions?

Gun metal gray would look good

gunmetal would be nice, another thought, clear coated silver metalflake.

This link shows the color I am looking for. Anyone know how I could get the paint code or something similar? I know Porsche offers a gunmetal rim but can't find the code. The Forgestar (link below) would be the most ideal though

I'd go for pearl white. They'd definitely make the car stand out. :cool:

IMO, black wheels are difficult to see unless you are within a few feet of the car.

Gunmetal should be an easy color for you to select at any reputable body shop in a variety of shades. As far as white goes, that might look cool but the pad soot would be daunting to keep ahead of.

the problem is the gunmetal colors are exterior body colors and are high gloss. I'm looking for satin....anyone know how I can find this?
