Congrats on the order. rims matching the body paint only looks good if the car is black. Neither can I assist you with any pictures because I've never encountered pictures of a meteor gray Porsche with matching rims.

Re: Question about painted carrera s wheels

Meteor Gray is not a color which is very different from the standard rim color. I don't really expect a big impact in the looks for your car if you go for wheel painted in the exterior color.

You could opt for black wheels for a dramatic effect. Porsche has some history with color coded wheels, but this is usually on RS or CS models.

I personally would not do it on a Boxster, but that's just my opinion.

Re: Question about painted carrera s wheels

I know this is kinda pointing out the obvious but you can see your car in 3D with exterior colour painted alloys on the porsche website but this is obviously a CGI but it would give you a rough idea. Here are two pics of the CGI of porsche's website:



Hope this helps

Re: Question about painted carrera s wheels

Thank you so much for the porsche website photos!! How nice of you to do that for me... much appreciated.

As the other post mentioned I too think that there would not be much of an impact with Meteor Gray wheels.. (might look like their 'dirty' all the time :~)
Probably "black" would be the best look, but as a couple of you mentioned ...it is best put on a black car....might look kind of funky on gray. Perhaps like one is 'trying' too hard..

Thank you all for you input...
