We get it here right when it breaks from a H1 to a TS - supposed to hit early Sat - then it goes up to you Pete and John - 4 hr's later.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather men are once again true to form being over rated!

Off the charts.

Those are the best looking wheels IMO I've seen on any GT so far. I think those black wheels would look great on my yellow/black stripe car as well. Outstanding!! :thumbsup :thumbsup :cheers

I like it! It makes the polished center caps look almost like spinners. And with the side stripe delete, bumper delete, and extra tinting - the car's got a kind of dangerous elegance to it.

looks great!

I wonder if it would look just as good in white on a white car? Any photoshop experts willing to set up a picture?

In regard to weight difference between the BBS and the standard wheel, what are we talking about here?

Anyone ever polished these standard wheels? I would think they would look great fully polished.

I pretty much agree with Chip. IMO they are certainly the best looking factory wheels IMO.

Pe2unia - You nailed it with those wheels. I'm going to do them for my Blue X1. What color spokes do you think would look best on a Blue car ?

Kirby, Awsum GT has pictures of the wheels painted blue for you to look at. He has spinners on them though.

look good I had mine done in all black, did you get your paint guy to block the outer part of the rim and just paint the center of the wheel, or is the outer part painted silver? looks bad ass:thumbsup

It looks great. I like the contrast of the center caps against the black spokes.

I think they look good. The contrast really sets off the center spinner.

Of course I think they look good painted orange too. :wink

I had him paint everything except the dish of the outer rim.

Why not go with blue? Maybe some one could photo shop it for you.

Petunia very very hot!! I think someone else here posted a similar set up but with the blue centers. Of course also seen the orange for the heritage car by Floridachris another owner here. The black really stands out.
