thanks!
those are circle racing's 18 inch rally II billet wheels.

yes, for a long time i entertained the idea of painting the GTO a color which might be considered a "blend" of the colors of the black goat and the white goat to create, in essence, a grey goat.
roman did produce an image of the car in ferrari silverstone grigio, so i could get an idea what that would look like, but in the end it didn't really seem appropriate.
after thinking about it long and hard it became clear to me that this GTO must be painted the original color.
my whole life i've known this GTO to be cameo ivory, and all the memories that remain with me now were created in that white goat.
ultimately, i feel that in this particular case it makes sense to stay true to it's original appearance.
also, i believe this is what my father would have preferred.
many of the conversations we had about this car when he was still alive continue to ring in my ears... and i intend to honor his dream as much as i possibly can while i proceed with the restoration.
