IMO, the silver wheels look better than the Gloss Charcoal wheels on the GT Silver.
Two very different looks, sporty and classic.. both look great IMO.

If I wanted to refinish the wheels with HRE down the road, would I be able to go from gloss charcoal -> brushed clear? Or just brushed clear -> gloss charcoal.
Also, any idea on the cost to refinish the wheel with HRE?

Both of these pics are awesome but I really like the 1st one on this page that looks like satin charcoal. More aggressive looking to me. Good luck.

I think it looks great lowered like that also, photoshopped or not...prefer the bottom myself.

You can go either way. Costs to refinish range from $150-$200 per wheel.
Our vote is for the Gloss Charcoal.

I picked up a set of these HRE's in satin bronze for my guards red 991... I'll post photos once I get them mounted.

Go for the gloss charcoal. Looks great on the silver car! Much more aggressive looking than the silver rims.

Yeah I am leaning towards the gloss charcoal, gives a nice aggressive look that offsets the classic silver.
Look forward to seeing the Satin Bronze on Guards Red. Gloss Charcoal on Guards Red looks boss.

I'm going for the satin charcoal but I am interested in seeing the bronze on the guards red too.

I should have photos of the guards red with satin bronze by next week. I have beige interior so I thought it might look good with bronze as well.

Stopped by the HRE showroom today, very cool to see how everything is done. Still not 100% sure on the finish.. Leaning towards Satin Charcoal right now, or go all out and get two tone, Brushed Clear on Gloss Charcoal!
