DESIGNED AROUND THE CAR: PORSCHE 911 DAKAR 992 × FACEWHEELS FW1030 19" / 20"

The Porsche 911 Dakar 992 is defined by the familiar 911 silhouette combined with increased ride height and unmistakable rally-inspired purpose.

For this build, FACEWHEELS FW1030 custom forged wheels were specified in Pearl White, with a 19 × 8J front / 20 × 11.5J rear fitment.

The objective was not to overwhelm the original design. It was to give the vehicle a clearer stance, stronger wheel-to-body proportion and a finish that feels intentional from every viewing angle.

WHITE × PEARL WHITE

The relationship between the white and dark-accented bodywork and the Pearl White wheels establishes the visual direction of the complete build.

Pearl White keeps the wheel visually connected to the body while the dark openings emphasize its motorsport construction.

Changes in daylight reveal different parts of the combination. Raised spoke surfaces catch more light, recessed areas remain darker and the body color continues to frame the wheel without losing its own identity.

FACEWHEELS FW1030 — SCULPTED FOR DEFINITION

The FACEWHEELS FW1030 uses a rally-influenced aero form with repeated openings that gives the wheel a strong functional identity.

That geometry gives the wheel a clear identity at a distance and more detail at close range. The design remains open enough to preserve depth around the brakes, while its transitions create a strong connection between the center and the outer rim.

Rather than acting as a separate decorative element, the wheel introduces structure beneath the body and gives the lower half of the vehicle a more deliberate technical character.

19 × 8J FRONT / 20 × 11.5J REAR — PROPORTION WITH PURPOSE

The 19 × 8J front and 20 × 11.5J rear combination respects the Dakar's unusual stagger while maintaining generous tire presence.

Diameter and width work together here. The wheel fills the arch with the correct visual scale, while the tire remains an active part of the composition instead of disappearing beneath an oversized rim.

The result is a fitment that looks considered from the side, front three-quarter and rear three-quarter views.

PEARL WHITE REVEALS THE FORM

Pearl White changes naturally as light moves across the wheel.

Direct light emphasizes edges and raised surfaces. In shade, the design becomes deeper and more unified. This variation allows the wheel to retain its dimensional character without relying on excessive decoration.

The finish also makes the design easier to read in motion, where the spoke pattern and the outer edge form a clear graphic relationship with the body above them.

BUILT AROUND THE PORSCHE 911 DAKAR 992

A successful wheel package is defined by the complete relationship between diameter, width, spoke shape, brake clearance and the position of the wheel within the bodywork.

For this Porsche 911 Dakar 992, the FACEWHEELS FW1030 setup was selected to support the vehicle's existing proportions rather than replace them with a generic visual formula.

The completed stance feels integrated because the wheel design, finish and sizing all respond to the same body. Nothing appears isolated from the vehicle around it.

FORGED TO STAND APART

The FACEWHEELS FW1030 gives the Porsche 911 Dakar 992 a more individual presence through proportion, surface detail and finish.

Its design adds definition where the body is clean, depth where the exterior surfaces are broad and a stronger connection between the vehicle and the road.

The result is purposeful, balanced and unmistakably custom.
