These pictures were taken at the dealership.

Looks good, congratulations.

A matter of personal taste, but I'd prefer stock wheels.

Enjoy it!

I think the wheels are too "busy" and am looking at BBS F1 wheels. Problem is my wife really likes these wheels. If you are married you'll understand my predicament. I do have the factory wheels and may put them on. They are black from the factory.

Congrats Duffy,
Agree with the wheels, and love your idea of the F1 wheels. Also understand the married thing, if it was not for her I would of already had those new wheels on mine.

Waiting to hear your impression of the GT2 compared to your 458 and TTS.
