Default Wheels painted to match body color?

Anyone have actual pictures with this option? It somewhat intrigues me on the configurator.

I honestly think color matched wheels aren't a great idea. Not a big fan of the monotone look, wheels really need a contrasting color to the car so the pop.

I'm guilty of doing this as well, but I immediately changed wheel colors after seeing it was too monotone for me. It's a personal preference though, I'm sure there are are various people who feel it looks awesome.

Love this! Definitely only think for more subtle colors like silver or dark blue though.

Scott, I'm going to paint or powder-coat my wheels and had a photographer Photoshop them to help decide. The colors did not turn out as I wanted but should give you an idea. See if these help:

I'm on a Bronze/Copper Kick at the moment. Would look awesome on your car.

Agree.

This is on my option list, but it's a GT Silver GTS....not a fan of the black, and the basic silver option against the GT Silver paint made me double take.

Not locked in yet, but I'm leaning heavily this way

THIS however, is no bueno IMO. Club Sports came this way, but still......not my taste, even in '92.
