Or platinum, which also hides the dust quite well.

Wouldn't get the aluminum wheels if not also gettting PCCB.

Nice way to bring back a bit of old school with new models. They have a treasure trove of great colors that aren't being utilized enough in my opinion.
Great idea.

...as was I. But GB with silver wheels looks too...cheery? Like AP, I don't generally like solid black wheels, but tgavem's spec changed my mind. The GT3 needs to look a bit menacing.

Ok

Driveway photos. When house was renovated we built the driveway up as much as possible to flatten out dip between road and driveway.

These photos taken with car lift ACTIVATED.

The car is low. Get the lift.

maybe, but I like the look of silver with GB, matches nicely with the interior silver bits - would maybe go for platinum but my config is a stripper and decided for myself to put that wheel color money towards 2 comfort options

mind you I do like the look of the blacked wheels very much and yes it might look more aggressive, from the quarter front view for sure

It changes quite a bit, according to the ambient light...

And on the Manual Car, it will just say Sport (which adds rev matching on the GT4 and opens the radiator thermostats earlier). It is possible that this could adjust engine mapping or rev limiter, I guess...
