I know if your 50 your old and if your old you have issues with black wheels. The only thing I did not like about my gt350 was the black 10 spoke wheels, but surprisingly they were starting to grow on me, however I picked up a set of 20" gunmetal wheels recently and it refuled my dislike when I looked at before and after picks. The black wheel, in pics or in person just shows no movement or definition once you get 20' away from the car and the evenly spaced 10 spokes makes it worse.

Those look pretty nice and are the first set of these wheels actually mounted on a car that I've seen yet so far. They also have them in black and a machined finish which would be nice to see on a car as well. More pic's please!

I'm soon to be 49 and I prefer the stock GT350 wheels by far but kudos to you for trying something different on a GT350. Beautiful car BTW!

Count me among the black wheel haters....although I've gotten used to mine to a degree.

I agree that totally black wheels don't catch the light and show the definition between the wheel tire and wheel well. Most of the time it all blends together and the wheels size and tore size gets lost. I chose black wheels with tinted face, so now I can see the wheel and tore definition distinctively. And I'm 51, so my eyes have been trained to see chrome:D

You know what else old people, and the old at heart, have issues with? "You are" is abbreviated to you're, not your :doh:

:p But yes, totally agree, especially looking at the pics side by side.
