They are replicas that are powder coated black. The factory GT3 wheels have a different offset than the turbo wheels.

any wheel suggestions for me? Im thinking that an 18" lipped wheel will look too small on the TT and would LOVE to see some examples to show that I'm mistaken, because I would LOVE a large lip on the car.

CCW's on a TT

I'm running CCW's in the T-10 series with an 18 inch wheel. I bought this particular one because it's light and it doesn't have a lot of spokes...hence it's much easier to keep clean and at my age that is important. It has the lip so there's no water collection issue like there is with a few of the other manufacturers. CCW's are all made out of a single block of CNC and are polished. The open design allows the rotors to show thru and I think that enhances the overall look. You have to click on the photo to get it to enlarge.

CCW also sells you the tires at the same price as Tire Rack if you want the entire package, so I bough them wrapped and balanced with Michelin Pilot Sports...came ready to go. The wheels themselves were right around $2600..and I also bought the polished center caps for an additional $50 each. I'm very satisfied and get a lot of nice comments.

yes, these are 18's. I'm running a 315 tire on the back....however there arent' too many manufacturers right now who are making the 315 in 18 inch....and I had a good set of Michelin PS on the front so I had to stay with Michelins for the rear....the rears alone run almost $1K for the set. Next time around, I'm going to something mount four that are a little less pricey.
