There is a nice lady in CA who occasionally posts and she has a white GT3 with silver wheels. I have seen a few cars, in pictures, with the Silver wheels and they look pretty darn good. I do not think you can go wrong with any of the colors. The wheels, themselves, are just a real good design and any color seems to look very good. I think best design, to date, for a GT3

My loaner had them and they are a pain to keep clean unless you are going with PCCB's.. Stick with the standard wheels. They look great and brake dust doesn't show too bad on them.

Have your wheels OptiCoated and top with Armor All Wheel Protectant. You won't have to worry about brake dust. And save $1,000's.

After seeing this pic in another thread, having 2nd thoughts on the silvers I ordered. The spokes look more like blades in this color.

I think they all look good. You should have no second thoughts on any thing you ordered especially if it is too late to change. We all would probably like to go back and add this and delete that. Once you start driving your Baby the engine and transmission dominates the whole experience and the rest will not matter

True. My order doesn't go in until 9/10, so I'm OK to change.

If it was not for my steel brakes and the brake dust I might of gone silver. But, in the end; I did not have to pay a penny more for the standard which look awesome, as is
