Have some new tires incoming, so naturally, I decided to dump even more money and finally put the RS pumpkins out to pasture and get some shiny new wheels.
After some research and advice, I decided to go with Forgeline. Seem to be a favorite among Porsche owners/racers. Strong, supposedly good customer service, and of course, offer an appealing design.

So, want to place an order for the GA3R. 3-piece forged, hidden hardware.


So, now the question remains about finish. I hate when other people post this question because the answer is "whatever you think looks good, ya retard." But I just can't make up my mind here, esp since I can't really picture what these combos will look like in real life on this wheel. Pics below are not mine.

1) Keep it simple with a silver center, polished outer like the pic above?

2) Gunmetal centers, polished outer?







3) Titanium centers, polished outer?





4) Titanium center, Gunmetal outer?

5) Gunmetal centers, Gunmetal outer?

Don't have pics of the last two. If someone is so inclined, a Photoshop would be great

What say ye?

 

Ed- dont think the polished look goes w your car.. maybe gunmetal outer w black centers?

 

Thanks for the input, Marc. Trying to stay away from black wheels. And not even sure a grey/black combo would go together.

Don't know what happened to the titanium center/polished outer pics, but here they are again:

 

Whatever you like. It's your car

 

I like the polished out and entire inside gunmetal but I'm afraid on a black car the look of the rim would go away.

Why not just powder coat the original pumpkin wheels to a different color. Save a few grand and throw a big Party.

The gt3 rims are my favorite rim made.

 

I think gunmetal offers enough contrast on a black car to be visible. Black centers and/or outers would definitely be lost. Just whether or not to go polished on the outers. Kind of averse to shiny bits on the car. Plus, they'll scuff up like mad. But they also can look good.....

I though about PC'ing the RS wheels, but it would be such a shame to destroy a factory RS orange paint job. And agreed they're one of the best looking wheels out there, but I am looking for something a bit lighter. I'm not one to bust a nut over super-light wheels ("O.M.G. My wheels are 3/100's of an oz lighter than brand 'X'. Now not only am I cooler than you, but I'll be able to drive like Joey Fu*kin Hand!") but they are pretty hefty.

 

I've thought about gunmetal on my cgt numerous times. It would look good.


I don't think the RS wheels drive heavy. I did get track rims for mine mainly to get a better tire tho.

 

Baby puke green would look good on the CGT. Not a good comparison.

 

if these are for the track only then go with the lightest of whatever color, if you keeps these on all the time I will petition to have you banned because they are uuuuuuuuuugly.

 

They will likely be on 90% of the time but they will do double duty on the street and track. Id probably keep them as track only but it's just a pain in the ass to switch out wheels.
Are they super sexy? Maybe not. But I wanted a decent looking wheel but a GREAT track wheel. If aesthetics was my only concern, I'd dump an obscene amount of money on ADV.1's.
