I have had a 4S since new but always loved the GTS Spyder wheels so had my Spyder wheels resprayed Satin Black . I think they contrast well with the Ice grey and love them .

Looks great! I’m thinking about painting the e mission rims all black but I’m not sure about the painting process. Some people say the paint will never be as strong and good as the original paint. Were your wheels re painted or it’s kind of a spraying process?

The wheels are dipped in an acid solution overnight to completely strip them before powder coating. This is no different than what Porsche will do with a colour change but half the price.

The price I got from the dealer was 3 times the price of a private shop?Do you think is the a way to just paint the white/silver parts of the e mission wheels?The dealer said no way

Looks nice! I am thinking about the same for a while now.

Other option would be the gold / copper OEM color.

Nice job on recoating the Spyder wheels. Debating whether to recoat the Spyder wheels on our Cherry Metallic GTS. Any color suggestions would be appreciated.

They look good to me as they are, that’s why I changed to Satin Black

Aurum indeed.
Personally I don’t like it with light colors.
