help needed please, damaged one wheel on my macan, I have exclusive same paint colour as the car (Agate Grey) but porsche told me that they can't get the factory finished wheels from the factory, so they buy the wheel from porsche Germany they sent it here uk and now some body shop are trying to match the quality of spraying it to match... has any one else gone through this? and how you get on? cheers

The bodyshop attached to Porsche Chester OPC did a great job, painting my wheels to compliment my body colour. Have faith, the exact colour is documented and imo should be able to be matched with ease.

Ouch! Looks like the 21" Sport Classic?

Surely they can be got from Porsche Germany, as the wheels are a factory fitted option?

Maybe try asking another OPC (Porsche Centre)?

Any wheel repair specialist can match your paint code, just give it to them and you should have a perfect match. If you are really worried by a colour mismatch on the new wheel, why not have all 4 done, there is likely to be wheel repair specialist near you. You might as well go direct, ask your OPC who they use. Mine are now VG to match the car, a great job done by a local bodyshop.

The damage to your wheel does look bad, are you sure it could not be repaired?
My front rh wheel needs a minor refurb due to damage after a puncture, for a change from VG, I'll have all 4 done in Platinum Satin by the same business, all I need is the colour code. Total cost about £400.
