Different wheels on a 4.2 GT

[Andyk]

I'm sure they will divide opinion but I rather like the wheels on this GT...

I quite like the deep dish on the rear but think they would look better in grey

 

[safrane]

A bit.....well black

 

[Andyk]

Ignore the colour for a mo what about the style of wheel...It think it suits the GT

 

[highlander]

I agree andy, that style works for me in a retro way..........in the black it makes the car really mean looking too

 

[safrane]

Thats my point Andy...I can't see the detail of the wheels as there is no definition between them, the tyres and the car...maybe they would look better in silver.

I am not a massive fan of those wheels on the GT (the black ones). I think they've also put about 25mm of spacers on the wheels to make it more aggressive - along with the darkened rear lights etc make it a bit gangster for a GT!

Nahh...

Nothing wrong with the style and agree the black looks .. Well mean as Highlander put it. I would prefer a lighter coloured wheel.

Gangster is the the word!

Quite like the de-chrome look but the wheels are just a bit too lary for my (admittedly dull and middle aged) tastes.

Good to see the prices are holding up. Not that I think they'll get £40k for that when the 4.7's are just a notch or two above.

 

[Andyk]

Yep agree....40k for a 4.2....Most will hang on for a 4.7.

Agree, they look good. Even like the black.
Cheers Wattie

 

[Andyk]

I like it also Wattie....One very mean looking GT

 

[bigbob]

No thanks. In fact really no thanks.

Doesn't work for me I'm afraid. It's like trying to make a Maserati look like a blinged up Ferrari,.... and I have nothing against black cars with black wheels....

 

[Classico]

Another in the "No" camp here for black wheels.

IMO, nothing beats a clean set of OEM silver wheels which really seem to "pop" against any colour, especially black.

Black wheels always give the appearance/perception to me that the rims are dirty.

Would never put anything but OEM wheels either on a Maser.

 

[Andyk]

I had black on here and they never looked dirty.... ;-) .....

Now that looks lovely C4sman .... Love the wheels.

Thanks Andy, they are the OEM centrelock wheels that come with the GTS as standard. This car has been booted out of the garage onto the driveway now as the Mas GT S lives indoors.

I think black/dark wheels on a Mas look very "now" but long term the standard alloy colour will always look more classic. They do suit more racy cars such as your M car, which looks to me as if it is bruising for a fight! Just the right gap between the wheel arch and tyre also.
