Did mk1 gt2 wheels come in a different colour to the similar looking turbo items?

Just trying to get the spec right before a visit to Lepsons.

Hi take a look at this link:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Standard Porsche silver is used on the stock wheels, but colour coded to exterior colour was offered for £600 plus VAT.

I've just had my turbo wheels done be Exel wheels in GT silver (as used on the turbo S model). A shade darker than standard, and very classy.

Chris has my GT2 wheels at the moment, coming back in Weiss Gold like the RS.


SM, Exel (Chris) use Lepsons but come and collect your wheels and give you a loan set, well worth the extra cost to avoid the hassle.

Thanks for the info so GT silver seems the recommendation then? I was forgetting it was turbo s that had the darker colour.
Cheers

GT Silver if you want them same colour as Turbo S?

Otherwise they are the standard Porsche silver, or you can check your build sticker to see if they were originally matched to exterior colour.

Yes I want to match turbo S, was thinking that was GT2 colour.

Checked with Porsche who have confirmed mine wasn't special wheel colour.

Thanks a lot again PH, what an enormous body of information!

So, the GT3 RS gen 2 wheel colour is Weiss gold? Is that same colour as the Weiss gold on the 3.2?

I'm in the city mostly at the moment so no problem leaving the car at Lepsons for a few days and catching the train from there.

I'll book it in during the next few weeks, especially now the beast has a clean bill of health from its OPC service -- nothing unscheduled to pay for. And considering the hundreds of miles in the 120-180mph range last autumn visiting the factory, that's pretty good going smile Incredible cars.
