LOL! Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I know it's been a thing for aftermarket wheels for a while now and, frankly, is probably out of style now so far as the tuner community is concerned but as a factory option I think it'll look really sharp on red, black, or white cars.

If they let me buy one, I'll be getting mine in red and think this will look perfect on it.

If they jack up the price though, I'll go back to satin platinum.

I like this kind of stuff - what I hate is stickers.

Went with chalk red interior - wouldn't mind a chalk stripe.

Difference today vs in the past is the painted calipers - it's lot going on at the wheel.

I hate the damn stripe on the seats and hopefully they can be deleted.

I like the Satin Black with the red pinstripe - but $2k is a bit much.

Not sure ( I know why as Porsche loves $USD$) why the Platinum color is not stock. Also if the GT4 can have the cool old style RS strap door pulls, why can't the new GT3.

Regardless my money is already spent and can't wait to add this to the horse and buggy collection.

I didn't like it at first, but after see the GT3 in the interview with Andreas Preuninger it grew on me. I'm probably going with Guards Red and satin black wheels. So this is going to be tempting.

Ahhhh, that's more like it. The stripe is not for me anyways.

These are two options I don't understand, especially not being able to get the factory door strap pulls.
Oh well, this is Porsche and when you think you have them all figured out, they throw us another curve ball.

i thought the door strap pulls were reserved for RS cars only and they just threw the GT4 owners a bone with that

///Armin had the black rims with red pinstripes on his car and it all tied together very nicely imo.

Cheers,

That works. Certain colours will work along with additional touches like the side stripe decals.
