What wheel style did you go with your GT silver car?
Please share some wheel pics to help me decide! Currently trying to decide between exclusive design (1st choice) and Carrera classic (close 2nd). Some real world pics with GT silver will help me decide....

I remember trying several color and wheel combinations. Always ended up coming back to GT Silver with the RS Spider wheels and color center caps.
very happy with my choice.

These aren’t helping!!!
I love the ‘classic’ from side profile, but the exclusive one from an angle...the only thing i don’t like about the ‘classic’ is the gray tone. Has anyone painted the gray part black? That might be What i end up doing...

Three Wheelin'
Go see them in person. I went with Carrera Classics. Look great with GT silver. Love the machined edge with dark grey painted accents, love the concave deep dish look of the rears, they remind me of 991 GT3 wheels, show off the brakes/calipers, the thin spokes are easy to clean, and they are less likely to pick up brake dust vs the others. They also look the most lightweight (dont know if they are but probably are), which overall, to me tricks me into thinking the car is more nimble with lighter wheels. They also look like they’d do the best job cooling the brakes under track use.

This is obviously very personal, but to my taste the classic is perfect as is. The “airy” design actually lets a lot of black come through without the heaviness associated with many black wheels. But that’s me...
