Or the new base wheel I should say.

Yes, they look like the ones on the other vert spy pic that was posted recently, only painted black.

Those are the non-PP wheels. I think a black coupe with tint and gloss black wheels would be INSANE.

Yeah, the exhaust tips appear to be black in color. I dont really know what to think about those wheels. I would have to see the wheels in person to know if I like them.

The whole car is blacked out to hide details until the official unveiling.

Right, I am not a big fan of the black wheels, they look OK on some cars but mostly look like they are dirty with brake dust. I like a little more shine, love beautiful custom polished or chrome.

I think they work fine blacked out, but not chrome/polished aluminum. Of course, that's just my singular opinion.

I agree, the PP wheel is the better one aesthetically. I don't love it, but I'd have to actively look for something better to replace them.

Edit: I'm curious if anyone else sees what I do, but the nose on the black GT500 looks MUCH more tame than it does on brighter-colored cars, even on the DIBlue. Anyone agree? I ask because I'm strongly considering black.

Those are the Base 2013MY GT500 GT500 base wheel
(this wheel is SUPER good looking in person BTW)

here are some pictures I took while at Barrett Jackson for the auction a 2013 GT500 durability car for charity.

These wheels are production in every way from style and color:

I really like these wheels for the 2013, do you know how they compare to what you get with the PP option, size, weight, tires, etc?

I want the Performance Pack but prefer the look of these wheels.

What do you guys mean by "tamer"?
That's a GT not a 500.
