Default Retro style wheel options for GT3 ??

Forgive me if discussed before -
I have a new GT3 Touring inbound, for which I tried to go for a more 'retro' style build.
Any suggestions for a more retro-style center lock wheel option, to use in place of the very modern center locks ?
Curious if anyone went this route?

Thanks!

Have you seen the new Fuchs inspired FU3C from Forgeline?

CHeck out this thread as there are some more pics and rendering. These wheels, a ducktail, side stripes, and houndstooth seats on a GT3T would be just awesome.

Given how black wheels dominate everywhere, any type of silver wheel automatically adds a retro touch, in my view.

I worked with Augment Wheel Company in the Toronto area to create a replica of the 991 Speedster concept car wheels in a 20" application. We focused on as accurate-as-possible a re-creation of the petals/blades and how they meet the polished edge of the rim while increasing the offset to fill the wheel gap a bit more.

Both the FU3C and Augment wheels look great. The subtle differences in both wheels are nice. Thanks for sharing!
