Default Porsche 993 Body Matched Wheels


Hello All,

I have a Turquoise Blue 993 C2S with turbo twist wheels and was looking to paint my wheels to match the body.

I was looking to have the wheels done as the factory would have done with the silver lip around the edge. Photo below.

Would anyone be able to please recommend any shops in the north east I could send my wheels out to?

May I recommend the same. In the end, it's your choice, but it's not something I find appealing.

to answer your question, I highly recommend Proformance Industry in New Rochelle. They are top notch, I just got my Gamballa Speedline Corse competition wheels refinished last month there. An they do all custom works there too.
as a side note. There was a 993 GT3RS there for some custom works.What a first encounter !

Sorry not on East Coast but I sent mine off to Wheel Enhancement some 20 years ago and they are holding up fine. https://www.wheelenhancement.com

Second the recommendation on Wheels Collision. Did wheels twice for me on 993 and 997.2 to original silver. Not a body color fan.

Tonal-colored wheels was such a 90's thing. I kind of like it

I believe? Porsche offered the body matching paint option on wheels/Fuchs back in the '80's-
