Over a year since I put a deposit down and it's finally home. Thank you to everyone who posted their cars on this forum. It allowed me to make the best decision I could possibly make for buying of an MSRP $130k car sight unseen (how insane are we?). So, here is mine is and I hope you all take time to post yours for others. More "action" pics to come once weather improves.




Zero regrets.

Thanks! Because the wheels are matte, they provide a nice contrast without taking away from the car paint or clashing. Even in direct sunlight. I have always loved gold or bronze wheels on red cars.

They are 100% there. I picked the pictures that showed it the least . You can see them in the 4th pic, PEC garage shot.

Wow wow wow! Beautiful car! I have a Guards Red GT4 currently sitting at Emden waiting for a boat ride across the pond.

Props to you for going with the gold wheels! I debated back and forth about the Satin Aurum wheels more than any other option in the car, but in the end and I chickened out and went with Satin Platinum.

Seeing these pics make me think I might have made the wrong choice.......

The hue they chose is great, not too bling. Hope to see you at VIR.

Default Perfection!

I came so close to ordering one just like yours. I might be second-guessing myself after seeing those pics! I really like the look. Congrats on a great build.

Well you do have options, even if they are more expensive. But hey, if you buy these then you can use your original wheels as winter/bad weather wheels. Platinum will look great too!

BLACKHOLESCION,

That is a badass looking car, man! I love the photos and the color. Great build.

I guess mine (GR Spyder) is on Columbia Highway, enroute Houston. She just left Jacksonville today with ETA 06/26/2020. I shall post photos once I have it.
