Pictures now added

Picture the orange changed to white. The wheels will be going on a white GTM.

Then there is the standard standbys. These are made by TSW and are super light.

Either set of wheels are about $1000.00 and both are C5 fitment.

I like the second set better. I think the GTM looks better with wheels that have more than 5 spokes

Thx Mike for the input, BTW the more I look at the GTM the more I appreciate your efforts.

I agree, the second set looks better for my tastes. They happen to look like the rims I'm planning on purchasing so I may be biased!

My vote goes for the second ones as well.

I would go with the second ones. The gunmetal looks kool in my opinion.

Here are two photoshops Dave did for me. The chrome was to be white but it turned out to be a PITA to get the chrome white, but the idea is there.

If it were my car (which it isn't) I'd get the dark Nurburgring wheels. It would tie in the stripe down the middle.

But, you know what they say about opinions....

Still up in the air (pun intended). The Toyo and Nitto are near the top of the list, but I am also looking at Hankook V12 very good reviews and the lightest tire on the market. I have Vredestein on the Vette now and really like them too.

Clemson.....I am not big into the black wheels unless they are on a dark car or lots of black is used to offset the stark contrast. I have all my suspension and panels still naked aluminum, black wheels with raw aluminum is just to far off for my taste. Silver, white or machined (IMHO) wouold look best.

287 views and only 14 votes? Should I have put a choice (C)... neither? So far looks like the TSW is running away with it.

I had a friend with RUFF wheels on his 350Z. They looks nice enough but the long term quality wasn't there. I personally like how the TSW's look.
