I was never a fan of dark wheels, on any of my cars. I had them powder coated by a local shop. Had to do it the second day that I had the car. I feel that it is difficult to see the design of the wheels, when they are really dark. But that's just my opinion. There has to be a reason that most manufacturers release their cars with dark wheels.
Out of all the "nice" bmw's that I had, I believe I get the most attention with this car. There really are not a lot of Shelby Gt350 around in the New York area (at least from what I see), so the car attracts a lot of attention. On the other hand, every block has a BMW m3, m4, m5, m6 or x5m parked on it, so those cars really do not stand out.
Well, I guess I'm not the only one who does not like the all black wheels.
I didn't come from BMW to the Shelby but rather from Porsche and could not agree more. My previous 993 and 964 were a bit crude and industrial but a blast to drive. Couldn't keep both, needed to sell to fund the Shelby and though missed would not give up my GT350.Beautiful car I love silver wheels on dark colored cars. Black wheels are overdone even though they look great. Another long time BMW onwer here. Down to one right now. The Mustang is amazing, but every week or two, I still need to drive the aging E36. i think the key to happiness is having the best of both worlds.
I do want to take advantage of the track time that is offered by Ford, when you purchase this vehicle. I did do the M Performance driving school this year, in South Carolina and it was amazing to push the cars to the limit. Not sure if I want to take my car on the track though. I like to baby my cars and make sure that everything works perfectly. I might change my mind once I go to the track and drive Ford's Shelby's on the track.
