What do you guys think?
These wheels would be the bomb if they fit your GT3...such a killer price too!

IMO, to keep it classy, you need to stay with either brushed (silver) grey (titanium, gunmetal, charcoal) or black. Any of those will work and look good.

To me, white wheels are very "Miami Vice"... as in 80's. Reminds me of the poster I had on my wall of the white Lambo Countach with white wheels when I was a teenager. But that is just me.

Thanks for the props, Fang.

Thanks for all the great pictures- didn't realize so many people had HRE's and other top-flight wheel mods. The brushed silver looks good, sometimes a little hard to distinguish from the standard finish in pictures, but that seems to be the #1 choice. The darker colors look great too, and definitely stand out more- love Axxlrod's "grey" wheels (which are they?), JetPilot's Forgestars, Sin911's black HRE's, as well as the OZ Ultraleggera HLT's (blk). On one hand, refinishing the OEM wheels would maintain the stock look, but... these other wheels just look sensational. Yargh!

My P40s are gloss charcoal. ANother alternative would be OZ Ultraleggeras in gunmetal, plus they are much, much cheaper than HREs.

So many choices. Agree with Axxlrod on the OZ Ultra's. Great looking wheel from a well respected company. I almost got them in silver if it wasn't for the great deal I got on my HRE's.

I understand that a modified "fuchs" wheel will soon be on the market. Don't know much about them, but depending on their price, they might be an alternative to consider.

Axxlrod, love the charcoal P40's. I vote for brushed aluminum for classic/subtler look, the gold/bronze would be aggressive/unique, black with a deep poilshed lip would be sharp, all black blends too much with the tires.
