D the finish on the inside is Anthrite or something like that a dark silver
I thought it would offset GT silver nicely and it did.

I did a similar thing when I first got my GT3. Before I even took delivery I mounted 19 inch BBS forged wheels with PS2 tires and have been very happy with the change. I have the original wheels and cup tires (only on the ground from the factory to the dealer) in my garage should a special occasion come up. You will be very happy with the PS2's and the lighter wheels, but I agree the 19's fill the wheel well better... just an opinion.

how come you run 235 front? 255 would work and make the car much more neutral.

btw, you need to lower the car now that it has 18" wheels.

Mooty I know the car now needs to be lower. I dont know why I got 235's I thought I orderd 255's
I guess that got messed up.
F4 guy the wheels will look better once the car is lowered.

Strong, light, and legendary Fikse durability. Great track wheels. Though for appearance (i.e., street use), I prefer stock.

Thanks, OG. I agree. The color looks very nice with the silver.

Looking forward to more pics.

Jeff the problem with Stock is ALL GT3s look that way. I wanted something tastefully different.

Default More from the park
It was sunset so I didnt get what I want. But not bad.
I took a shot of the tire straight on for Jon to look at the rotor
clearance.
The rear wing is Carbon fiber and the wheels go Great with
the wing dark color
