so my baby is getting a full respray, antenna delete badge delete right exhaust hole filled in, and the wheels painted. so i want some sort of dark color for the wheels, im thinking gunmetal what do you think, suggestions? oh ya its getting repainted in the same factory color

 

Don't paint them darker...Stay with the same color, just have them redone.

 

anyone care to ps the wheels gunmetal for me? its getting done in 2 weeks

 

have them machine finished and cleared.

 

The new GTOs like 2007 2008 i believe have a really pretty redish organe color. its they hottest color ive seen around on any car.

 

Can't wait to see the new paint......heres a pic of my gunmetal TT wheels so you'll have an idea of what they'd look like!

 

hmm nice, i like that, i think it will go well with my darker red also.
are those ls calipers?

 

Yes they are. I have tried a couple of colors on my wheels, I settled on gun metal. You'll like em!

 

Dude, do the light gunmetal that BMW uses for the M5 wheels it seems to darken a bit in little "nooks and crannys."

 

I agree, this would look the best on a darker car... imo i think going with gunmetal is too dark with the darker paint color.

 

Paint them dark! I have the same color car, wheels, and in around the same area; Bellevue. This way we won't be mistaken for each other.

I personally prefer the standard finish. Haven't yet seen a painted TT wheel that I like. Plus the darker color makes it look even more tucked in / highlights the fact that the offset of the wheel is wrong in the front.

Nice T2! Where's the hood?
