Thank you for the advise. I saw that people were having trouble with the gloss. I just watched a tutorial on it and it seems that when laying down the gloss it needs to go on pretty heavy after the initial coat.

I have to say I like the look of these wheels a lot more on your car with the black finish.

One idea that just came to me would be to leave the lip grey/silver or even getting it refinished with a polished metal lip with the center black. It would come across as a more modern take on the Fuch wheel.

Sort of like this without the silver on the center spokes:


Something closer to this but with the more modern lines of the cayman wheels:

Yup, definately would try to create something similar to Porsche's Fuchs Design on a dark car like yours.
