Black with polished center. It brakes it up and plus it'll look sick rolling.

do it. I got bored with my smoothies and sold them. Wish I would have done that but i had a set of black centered ttms so I put them on. Smoothies have a better styling than the ttms.

+1 on the better styling. Im not so much bored with them as I hate what a pain it is to polish them cause they stain so easy because they are bare aluminum.

all black/polished lip with a red bird on the center cap and you have to get the little l.e.d valve stem cap to tie it all together.

Play with photoshop and black out the rim and leave the spokes polished. Just curious to see how that would look

I like them dude..I have the same wheels and they have been on my car for close to 3 years and I am pretty bored with them and want new ones just can't afford a new set. I thought about doing this a while back but never really put much thought into it. Let us know how it comes out!
