Gloss wheels look beautiful in photos . Thats why they are often chosen for media events . In real life they can visibly chip from a stone .
Desperately looking for a T allocation

I’ve got glass black HRE’s on my 650, and like any other painted wheel they can chip. Agate gray is painted as well so really no difference in the end.
Agree that they all can chip, but the gloss is so shiny that it puts it on display. The satin black seems to hide it better. I remember once I curb rash a wheel. The wheel repair guy was sick so my service advisor said he’ll be back next week and then he reached into his pocket, pulled out a black magic marker and went across the curb rash. It was completely unnoticeable. I still had it properly repaired. He did that so that I didn’t feel so bad about it while I was waiting.

Did you try: Account settings on your phone and correct your User name? If all fails we have an engineer on this post. 😅
Did you somehow create 2 accounts and you're signed into different ones on different devices? Your 2 aliases have different post numbers so it looks like two accounts.

Good job @KM992! I knew we could count on you. For an engineer, that was just like « changing a light bulb…or a tire » (inside joke)🤪
Scott’s a skier! Gotta lend a helping hand to a fellow winter enthusiast. 😜

Center Cap question: On the standard Titanium Grey wheels, the center cap is automatically monochromatic but on the 2 different black no-cost options, the crest is colored. Does anyone know if the crest in a Carrera S wheel is replaceable? If yes, I'd order Titanium Grey wheels and buy a set of colored crests.

At 6:55 min of Nick’s video he confirms that the Porsche crest center cap can be replaced in the 992 S. Should be the same with the T or any 992 IMO

Okay yes they are interchangeable, however, the color surrounding the colored crest won't match the Titanium Grey wheel. Dayum

Got it Scott! Suncoast has just about every combination of Wheel/Cap color possible. Go take a look and if they don't have it now I'm sure they will eventually. I did find one Carrera T Titanium replacment cap..but with the silver crest.
P.S. As a french speaking Canadian (but very much bilingual), I keep learning on this Forum new english acronyms (FWIW, IMO, etc) and slang expressions every day. "Dayum" was one of them today!
I'll be using it.
Any colourful French you can share with us? 😀Got it Scott! Suncoast has just about every combination of Wheel/Cap color possible. Go take a look and if they don't have it now I'm sure they will eventually. I did find one Carrera T Titanium replacment cap..but with the silver crest.
