Somethign darker...entire wheel...flat dark grey or black.
the GT wheels are extremely heavy....you will loose performance over the lighter stock wheels or an after market set of forged wheels.

i agree that they do look good. my only gripe is that the silver lip makes the center look smaller than a 19. all black would prolly look better

the gt3 wheels are 3 pounds heavier than the carrera s rear wheels and 2 pounds heavier on the fronts (they are also wider though). the mps cup tires are 1 pound lighter on the rear despite being larger and 2 pounds lighter on the fronts. do the math and they are not much apart on weight.
i dont think that will be noticed on the street.
i did think about getting the oz ultrleggeras at 24 pounds rear and 21lbs front but they dont have a 12" rear and i really love the look of a 12"/305 combo.
