Hopefully this will give you an idea:

Yellow GT3 w/ black wheels
I personally would go with black. It already has a "less conservative look" (for lack of a better term) with the yellow seatbacks (and is the speedo yellow as well?), and I think silver would compete with the rest of the look of the car, silver being more conservative and all.

Forget the OEM wheels....fit P40 wheels in matte black, it would look great!

or Fly's package looks great http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...rs-wheels.html


Congrat....nice Turbo.

On second thought, keep them stock and get an extra set of wheels to do as you please...

Go with whatever you like. It's your car and you get to see those wheels everyday. Personally I'm not a fan of black wheels.
