I am wondering if I should paint my new GT3's or leave them alone. BTW this is not my car. My wheels have not came yet. These pictures where done by someone on this board for me. I will not mention their name unless they wish me too.

Silver GT3's



Matte Black GT3's

I am a big fan of all black, but that is definetely an acquired taste, and I havent noticed to many people on here who like the all black. The chrome lip breaks it up and doesn't make the car so.....well dark ha, but the red calipers and all black get my vote.

Well, i for one say leave the red caliper's. I love the black on polished, but the silver is so damm clean too, i usually love all blacked out but i ruled it out on this occasion!

I say 3rd choice

All of em are great but that matte black is the shiznit!!!!!! Might get old driving on a daily basis, but the car would look sensational on a track IMO.

FYI, the wheels were not designed to be taken apart once built. SSR won't give us the torque specs or new hardware to put them back together, either. And, unless someone who has been doing this for a long time and is using very precise torquing equipment is re-assembling them, you are almost guaranteed to have runout on the wheel once it's rebuilt. It's more complicated than just screwing it all back together. Getting 30 bolts all perfect again takes practice.

So you are doing this on the side Anyhow why did they stop making these? Too many broken ones or not enough demand? Do you have any left over? What was the largest rear you sold?
