GT3 3.8 Wheels Painted Black
 

I want to paint my wheels black I have a black GT3 3.8, I like the hint of silver in the lip. Is the image below the factory "wheels painted black" option?

I think all black looks much better. Silver lip make them look smaller .

Silver lip looks great.

Marc,
pic u posted is not factory. factory finish has just a thin 1/4'' strip of silver around the lip. also the inner wheel is still silver. weird way to do it anyway. here's a pic of it.

p.s don't know why pic came up smaller here. i sent u a mail instead. :)

agreed

not a fan of all black wheel. all black makes it looks like spare wheel imo. need to have some silver to break the black between the wheel & tire.

the silver lips look ricey to me, all black is purposeful. im not a fan of pinstripes either.

All black is the way to go imo

All black!! Like Vader!!

A matter of taste I guess but for me the silver lip looks very nice as it's contrast highlights the black spokes and silver gt3 center cap. Just like your pic Marc. I too am tempted... hmmmm

The silver lip also looks retro. That's why Porsche does it that way.

It reminds me of Fuchs.

i actually prefer the factory grey wheel. but if you must go black, id go all black

The silver makes it look like some damn rota wheel on a Honda.

^ what he said

If you have yellow pccbs I say go for the light gold finish like they have on some the 3rs...

Don't do it.

Looks awesome.

Leave it as buddy! Clean and classy, like you ;)

I really like it as is, no reason to mess with that. The picture you posted does like pretty sweet though. All black is getting too common.

You're car looks perfect Mark, I wouldn't do anything to the standard wheels.

Keep it as it is, really looks good.

seriously, looks perfect stock

I actually want to paint my wheels in dark gunmetal grey, similar to the one on the Nissan GTR. I have been struggling to find the paint code. Anyone can help?

TS has spoken and after careful thought it stays stock except for some red seat belts to breakup the interior. If I do wheels ever it will be the HRE40C in Satin Black as a 2nd set.

Thanks guys, 2nd save (calipers were first) :)

Good call Marc. Your car looks great as is.

BTW, we need to have a GT3 get together sometime.

I agree with 20C4S that the OP's photo is not a factory black painted wheel on the gt3. The factory version has only a thin strip of 'silver' (I think that is what 20C4S meant to say) and the interior center section painted a dull grey/silvery color which gets dirty really quickly, especially if you don't have PCCB's. z356

thanks Z for catching the typo. i did mean silver. :p

This is the correct factory look
