Fen, have a look at this thread on PH, after writing off your old 964 he has gone and bought your favourite car.
Scary that it even looks so similar, he loves blue cars.

Looks fantastic
 
It does look like a proper one, though I'd paint the wheel centres blue as well. I agonised over that detail when I had the 964's wheels painted and I think I made the right decision.
 
You are right, it doesn't really work. Black or anthracite wheel centres look great on white, grey and silver cars and a bit odd IMHO on other colours. That deep blue is lovely though. I hope he pops up on here and/or over on 968uk
 
I was assuming the middle of the rims was body coloured (though my work monitor is notoriously bad for colour rendition). On that basis what I meant was the actual centre cap which is currently silver should be blue. I don't think the silver spot in the middle of the wheel adds anything in other words.
 
A point which the image slightly further down that thread (of your ex-964) demonstrates very well Fen. Much nicer. And my screen/eyes see the S3 wheels as black as opposed to body-coloured (?) [&:] I think.
 
Yep, looking at it on my PC at home I agree. Neil is correct then; the entire wheel centre needs to be painted blue.
