Default My newly refinished rims
Cleaned, inside and out, whenever the car leaves the garage...

Nice, what colour did they use? Does it match the original?

Thanks Dan, not sure what they used but it's pretty close to the original and I like the finish... Now I'm obsessed with keeping them clean... R.

You can buy Porsche decals for your calipers on ebay for about $10... you might have them already but thought I'd throw that out there. Wheels look great btw.

Oh wow that is great and they look so nice and new. What did it cost you to get them refinished if you don't mind me asking.

They look very nice. That's one of the best looking wheels for the 996 cars. The lightweight '02 wheels and the Sport Technos are my favorites for the 996.

Agreed - I've got two sets, not perfect but near as dammit, for my '03 C2 - against a black car lowered 25mm on H&Rs they look brilliant - and allegedly some of the lightest OEMs.
