For all its awesomeness, Porsche 918 Spyder lacks the sheer thrill of its predecessor, Porsche Carrera GT, in terms of styling. The CGT is still, more than decade after its introduction, one of the best-looking super cars out there.
There have been some attempts at altering the styling of the Carrera GT, and some of them, like what Gemballa came up with, weren’t half bad. But the CGT is not the kind of car you want to mess with.
If you absolutely have to modify the looks of your CGT, new wheels should be the extent of your ambitions. It may not sound like much, but choosing the right wheels, in the right color, will improve the appearance of your car, even one as magnificent as the CGT, no end.
This Sand White Porsche Carrera GT sitting on a set of HRE P101s in gloss black is case in point:
