Stunning. I love your PTS choice with those wheels.

Every time the silver wheels look good to you in pics, those are actually the satin aluminum... the make the wheels pop incredibly.

The standard wheel is not as bright, however, does show well in different lighting. Here are a few examples.

You have to see both wheel types in person to truly see what they look like if you are on the fence/care that much between the two

I've seen both and my best representation is that standard silver is glossy, more shiny, and more pure silver looking & the satin aluminum is a matte/flat finish, more pearlescent/white looking

There have been some popping standard silver wheel pics as well. I think Bossing's GBM car has the standard silver ones. More than one person has stated that the standard wheels look brighter/shinier to them than the satin alu ones. I don't think it makes much of a difference either way. But haven't seen them IRL side by side so can't definitively say.

That looks awesome. There's no gt3 which doesn't look stunning in yellow, at least to me.
I feel that RY with Black Touring and silver wheels would look great too.

^I concur. This statement is quite accurate.

My friend's Miami Blue wears Satin Aluminum... still bright but has a more pearl effect than the standard glossy painted aluminum ones.





^That day I took my GT4 instead when he brought his ^GT3... so we still need to get our GT3.2s together side by side one of these days.

In any case both wheels look good IMHO since they are bright silver per so just decide if you want to spend more on that "satin" pearl-like/matte-like finish versus the standard silver aluminum wheels like my car wears below.

The silver wheels definitely give a different look to the car. Makes the wheels look larger in diameter to me. They look fantastic, especially on the bright and unique body colors.

They look good because you can not appreciate the wheel design when black. Black actually hides the design

Very happy that they made them standard on the .2, it was a no-brainer for me... Would have paid for that option to have them in the glossy silver if I had to compared with the other 4 choices

I'd get ultraviolet for sure if I could do PTS. Or even a pure magenta. Love me some '80s neon!

Oh totally, that's something I love about getting these awesome cars, is they can pull off all kinds of colors.

I always liked the Ruby red on the 964's... After I get my red car, I think I will start saving up for one of these
