These seem darker. I hope the standard wheels are darker.

Painted the body color?

Black wheels are mega-aggressive.. for me I think I'd be happy with the platinum wheels but still waiting to see a nice quality picture with the non-black wheels.

Great color combo in the video. Anyone else notice how many times he pointed out the stopwatch? I counted 4 times.

Is that GT4 in Rhodium Silver?

If GT Silver was free or just the price of regular metallic paint I would seriously consider it. But for me it is not special enough to warrant the extra cost. GR it is.

I believe thats GT Silver.

Those black wheels are growing on me. I hope the platinum wheels look just as cool.

Looks more like rhodium to me. As has been stated on this forum, rhodium has a blue tint to it. GT silver has more of a brown tint.

But photos and our monitors can be so off, hard to tell!

I've been staring at silver GT4's for what seems like for the past 168 hours straight.

I could be wrong but that to me looks like GT Silver. It's in direct sunlight and usually Rhodium is a much brighter color (almost white in direct sunlight) yet this still looks like a very rich silver. I'm hoping it's not rhodium because I like this picture a lot and would it leave GT Silver as still being a big unknown for me.

This ex-GT Silver owner says the GT4 with black wheels above looks like Rhodium and NOT GT Silver to my eyes.

It looks too "blue" if that makes sense to be GT Silver.

But photos don't do either hue justice so who knows.

you guys might be right

I tracked down a youtube video of it:

After watching this-- it does look like Rhodium.. sort of.
