Anyone With Pics Of Factory Painted Gt3 Wheels?

I am interested in seeing pictures of factory option painted GT3 wheels, I have seen a picture of a GT3 with painted wheels that appear to be fully painted, in the past I have seen painted factory wheels that seem to only have the centers painted and the lip is left silver, any pictures and help will be appreciated, TIA.

JAS,

The GT3 RS has the centers painted either red or blue, but the lips are standard silver. I've seem pics on this board as well as in the new Christophorus.

I think the lips come in silver as this was also the case on a frined's car who ordered (2 years ago) a black car with black Sport Design wheels (the 'old' GT3 wheels)...

Ok guys - I was at the local dealer today and they had a 4S Cab in Basalt black and a TT cab in seal grey...Both cars had the turbo look wheels and both were ordered with wheels and center caps painted to match...Porsche paints the centers and intentionally leaves a little unpainted section around the outside edge of the rims (I found this wierd as these are one-piece wheels!! to have a line/a perfect circular border with no paint is interesting!!) - I left my camera home so dont have any pics!! Sorry...

Thats what I have seen before but I did see a pic on another board of a GT3 at the factory with painted wheels and the full wheel is painted, thats my dilemma as to which way they will be done.

Mansour,

Did you see the cars at Porsche of Nashua? I know they had a Seal TT Cab with painted wheels. I'd love to see what the Basalt C4S looks like with Basalt wheels.
