B.

If you want to save some money, Choose C and get 15 mm spacers all the way around as the offsets are way too conservative. I did end up powder coating in satin black. I think they look great and they are forged.

Depends on your car color. I have A with my Solarbeam Yellow GTS. I would not like either B nor C with that color. Likewise, black on black with the A wheel and a dark car color is not my cup of tea .

It it all depends on what YOU like not what we think.

Color of the car really matters as stated by others but technically A is the best wheel choice (it is also available in silver). B & C are heavier cast aluminum wheels while A is forged aluminum (lighter, lower unsprung weight).

A looks the best whether it's black or silver, And it's forged and the best quality. Choice of black or silver depends on the paint on the car. Some paints will look good with either black or silver wheels.

Nope. C is the default no charge wheel on a MY18 GT. It’s cast aluminum

A ... not knowing your car color as said above.

My GTC is magnetite black with exterior night package, so ordering the Black mesh wheels felt like a bit of a risk. I tried to get comfortable looking at pictures of different paint color and wheel combinations at autogespot. https://www.autogespot.com/spots?bra...country=&city=

It turned out much better than I could have imagined; it looks incredible. It's a personal choice, so look at as many combos in the links above to find what you like.

I have "A" and I like them on a white car. I wanted them in titanium but they have good contrast on white.
