Default Turbo or spyder wheels

I am thinking of changing my wheels for my targa gts. Sometimes I get tired of the black wheels. The Spyder wheels are grey.

Ya, I don't see the swapping here. Painting the wheels would be my suggestion.

For me, it’s color dependent…….but generally, I find them busy too. They look good on black, gray (..minus Chalk), and blue.

I love them on gray. I am not sure about them on the gentian blue. I had them on my 4S in black.

I really like the turbo wheels with the CCB. Turbo wheels in silver on your blue car will look great

First things first. Get those crests pointed correctly.

Personally, I’d take the Spyders over any fully black painted wheel.

Spyders for me but you are limited in choices as your car was built with centerlocks. Centerlock wheels are sub optimal for a street car and they barely make sense for track cars either due to the expense and difficulty in swaps compared with bolt on wheels.

I have never understood why people spec them on a GTS when you can option the 5 bold version. With a GT3 you have a big cost to transition to bolt ons. I suppose if you are fine with only being able to send your car to the Dealer for replacement tires and winter swaps.
I expect that was part of the reason behind them, to help dealers capture some of the service revenue that dealers saw going to independents and tire dealers.
