Looks just like a Weld S71. Hard to say if that is a good or bad thing without knowing what car you drive (color etc).

I have a GT Silver TTS - to my eye, darker wheels look better. I bought the car with HREs in a satin finish - they looked too close to the color of the car, very little contrast, but enough off they almost clashed. They are now finished in dark clear (center) and super dark clear (rim), if anything I'd like them a bit darker.

Yep, I don't think a satin finish that nearly matches the paint would look good at all. Either darker, or from what I can tell from that picture, polished rim and a natural metal finish.

Great wheels. Not the fanciest, but they're constructed the right way and they're light. They are drop forged meaning a die compresses the metal into it's shape. This gives the wheel the proper grain structure. Rather than a forged billet that is machined into shape. Be sure you get the right offsets. Contrary to what some manufacturers advertise, GT3 and Turbo are NOT the same offset

The stock Turbo offsets are +51F and +56R, correct?

I know I can get +55R, 20"x12", but just casually looking around I only see a +42F 20"x9" for the front..

I'll have to get with Sam to figure it out.

I have a set on order. I should be getting them in a couple of months. My car is white thought, and I got them in black.

Forged, light, and I love the looks!!!

for your silver I do see the brushed aluminum look as a good match.

I love these wheels - I'm looking to get a set for my new TurboS project car..
I'd really like to get them in stain finish, but I don't think they make satin finish in center lock for TurboS / GT3RS? (if they can't do that I'll end up going gold)

what do you guys think would be the bet choice considering the color of the car and the break calipers.

I think the top gray wheel will blend into the color of your car and not look good.

The gold would be wild.

Black would probably be better. There is a set for sale in the market place.

^I don't think the size would work on the Turbo. But the wheels are freaking awesome!
