Wheel color change.

[elrocct]

Looking to change the color of My 21 inch CT wheels. Thinking about doing satin black which is the safer route. Want to do the OEM gray but can’t find the perfect match to powder coat. Has anybody done a color change on volcano grey.

I have a volcano grey GTS with the satin black spyder wheels. Looks great.

I found the color that matches Vesuvius Gray. It’s called Greenland Silver by Prismatic with a clear coat. I’ll post before and after pictures. Since I took these I had the center cap painted to match. I guess it depends on the car color but I really like the wheels and I feel like black just doesn’t show off the interesting spoke design

That came out really good! Does the color look darker at times then in the photos?

Yes if it’s in the shade. I would take another photo but it’s in the shop getting a sound system upgrade

I like a Matt bronze wheel which I have on my 996, and see another member has done this on their CT

Sound system upgrade please tell me more . The Bose system is definitely mid and that was another rabbit hole I was starting to look into upgrading.

Interesting approach and I agree that it depends on the color of the car.

I'm not sure if you noticed but the exclusive design Wheels are the same design as cross Turismo Wheels but without the holes.

Because of a large surface area, the blades look better in a contrasting color specifically a dark color and in my case carbon fiber.

I've seen both the cross Turismo and exclusive design styles in body match color and silver, and it's just too much of a surface area for a common color of the latter. So contrast or slats would make it look better.

Agreed! Your color looks great with those wheels

It happens! I’m finally running out of things to do to the car but definitely hated the sound system. I’m getting 2 amps one for speakers and one for new subwoofer with custom box, complete sound dampening system and new harness and wiring with heavier wires. I’m not all that technical but I felt like there were no mid tones and when you turn the volume up the sound is very harsh. The equalizer is a joke I mean for that expensive of a car all you have is bass and treble? What the shops do is hook up a computer to the system after it’s installed and tune it to your preferences. They will also re-tune in anytime you want. I’m picking it up tomorrow can’t wait to listen to it!

Same exclusive design Wheels: silver and body matched, which is a similar wheel design as Cross Turismo wheels

The Cross Turismo wheels just looks way better with the slats in silver as you have it
