Thread: Suggestions/opinions for new silver GP owner

In addition to upgrading the sound system a bit, I might also be in the market for new shoes in the future. I have a silver GT and would like to go with 18s (I had a truck with 22s and have no desire for overly large wheels). I currently have the stock chrome 17s which work nicely for a winter wheel, but would like to change it up for summer. I have always thought that black or black/machined look good on silver cars. I would just like to get some opinions (agreeing or dissenting) and ask for some pictures of others' setups. Many thanks.

Man, you're just all over the place. But thanks for taking the time to respond again. Any pictures out there with silver and gunmetal or black/aluminum?

yeah those would look good in an 18 on the car.

I will be very interested to see what those look like on a silver car. I was peeking at a couple while at TireRack:

American Racing Phantom Machined w/Black Accent

American Racing Villain Machined w/Black Accent

1. elbrus
2. villain
3. phantoms. face looks off to me though for the car.

If you use the tirerack website i believe you can view those on your car.

yes

I would go with an 18 in the elbrus for your car. Can't go wrong for $99 each if you can get decent shipping or have them installed there.

gunmetal all the way.

start looking for bolt pattern 114.3, you will find more wheels that you like. i personally hate every single wheel that has been showed in this thread so far. as for the color, go with black, gunmetal or hyperblack.

I wasn't aware we could use 114.3, I thought it was strictly 115. Not sure that I have heard of hyperblack. Is it similar to black chrome?

yes, it looks like a very chromey gunmetal... similair to hypersilver but darker. ud need to see it in person to appreciate.

gunmetal would be so sexy

Seems like gunmetal is a popular choice. Anyone have it on a silver GP?

I do.



Yes its a 97-03, but gives you an idea. Mine may be a tad darker than Gun Metal, but you get the idea.
