Thanks Ianacole, that's a good idea...maybe I'll toy with that sometime

The crest would stand out nicely against the blackened center cap.

Thanks for measuring Steve! My order has been placed.

I have seen somebody using this Fuchs-ish wheels on a 991. Looked great. Retro done right.

Suncoast Porsche Parts & Accessories Wheel Set - 19" Sport Classic
Name is a bit confusing. Suncoast says `19" Sport Classic' but elsewhere I see `19" Carrera Classic".

Looks really unique
Black center caps, and maybe black nut covers, like Fuchs offers them for their wheels?
As I like b/w pictures, too, here my Fuchs wheels shopped in Black

Another way is to use RC Modelers liquid mask. Paints on and can be trimmed with blade and then peels off.

If you start hanging around sites with a lot of water cooled 911s you may find the 19" Sport Classic wheels in post #22. The only problem is that they are usually quite expensive. IIRC, there was a pretty good deal last year when Suncoast cleared them out, but prices have now rebounded due to availability. With a good set of Michelin tires, they may be almost as expensive as a cheap 986!
Good luck!
