Wonderful shots. I also do that kind of «black and white/color» on my pics but I've never done it on my cars, because they are always black. Now, with that yellow...mamma mia.

Amazing photos, I especially like the last picture. Its tastefully modded and Yellow does look very nice on the GT3 with contrasting wheels enjoy it and drive safe.

Are those the GT3 wheels that you got painted or did you get RS wheels?

Thanks guys for the comments.

I didn't like the way the factory painted the GT3 wheels (CRX w/ deviated color) because they didn't do the whole wheel, just the face. And even that, sometimes just the spokes. On top of that, they charge $1900.

So I ordered mine with stock color and got the entire wheel powder coated $300 for all 4s. Some think powder coating will weaken the wheels, but it was baked at low temp around 350 or so. My wheels heat up way more than that after spirited drives. 8)

Beautiful car and I like your taste. The wheels look well done. The stripe around the lip is a hot look. I changed the wheels right away because they are unbelieveably heavy. Keep embellishing the car, it's a blast and rewarding. Check out my thread on page #2 of the forum titled " pet frog and Big Bird". Good luck with that sweet car. GT3Ranger

Very very nice, I like the powdercoating idea, so very clean and the yellow lip accent is a nice choice... Thank you for sharing..

Thanks Ranger. Your car gave me inspiration.

Kenny, Good thing about my lip accent is it's 3M vinyl stripe tape. If I get bored of the look, I simply peel off the stripe.

You know I actually also thought about using the vinyl tape around the wheel lips but decided to have them painted. The guy painted it by hand, I was impressed. Your idea is more practical for any future selling of the wheels. IMO you may consider it . Those wheels are anchors (rears are 31.7 lbs / fronts 26 lbs.). You'll improve the handling as if it needed it, hahaha !
