I also have an arctic silver and was wondering what colour to repaint my wheels. I love your 18in SSR GT3 Wheels. What colour combo is that? Did yuo have that custom painted? I wasnt so sure about gunmetal but it looks like that is what you did and I love it.

Thanks. Yeah, I used the wheel mounting bolt included in my car's tool kit (located behind the spare tire), to help me guide the wheels in the right place for mounting without hitting the calipers. It's a great tool, and is very cheap to buy at the dealer or Suncoast Porsche if you are missing the tool from your kit. Here's what I'm talking about: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=P&Product_Code =99957107430&Category_Code=POTEBXWH

As for my wheels, they came painted the satin gunmetal color from the manufacturer, but I'm sure you can get any paint shop to paint your wheels like that. I think it looks great as a contrast to the silver paint of the car and the red calipers.
