Lightbulb Black RS/ Black Wheels

If anyone could send me a photo shop picture of the black/orange GT3 RS combo with wheels changed to Black, I would be most grateful. Many Thanks.

Could someone photo shop black wheels with the orange graphics/mirrors/wing tips?

Not black but slate. Close enough to imagine?

For an even stealthier look, get rid of the silly decals! Or are the decals the raison d'etre for owning the RS...

Thanks, that does help some. BTW, that looks awesome. I have Black w/ Orange and was wondering what black rims would look like if I did black rims for the track.

i ordered black stock factory RS wheels, with black centers (orange "RS") which i believe are to get to me this week. i think. they got to the shop last week and they are mounting with stock tires, TPMSetc.

with any luck, maybe later in the week, i'll get them mounted on the black RS and i cansend you actual photos. i think they will look really good but , as someone else pointed out, Darth Vader will be desirious. "I am your father Luke".

I may also try them on the SilverRS. not exactly sure if that will go as well. I think it will, but we'll have to see. the black RS with black wheels will look great, almost no doubt about it.

Not that it matters either, but someone quoted me about $800 total to repaint to factor finish the RS wheels from orange to black. might not be the way to go since, for resale value, some will want the authenticity of the original orange wheels.

Yep, I'm the same way trying to keep mine authentic. I did the full clubsport pack, etc, but made sure it was all OEM. It's costly, but I think it will add value to the car....as I also kept the original seats.

Looks like that one came with the mud and snow tire option.

amazing how a change in wheel color makes that car about 4x more cosmetically appealing.
