Default Pics of All Black Ruff 278s?

Hey guys, I'm looking to see if anyone has these wheels or can photo-shop Ruff 278s in all black. NO chrome studs, no chrome lip, just all black. I was planning on getting CCW 505s but after seeing that thread of them powder coated all black I knew it would be a waste of money, so I'll go w/ the knock off brand and have them powder coated. I'm most likely going to get a matte black lip or one of those inner lips but that's irrelevant for this thread. POST UP PICS!!!

No pics but I think they'd look killer on your car with a matte center and gloss hoops

I didn't think you could get 278s any more.

I ordered a set off of ebay cheap... Brand new in the box, they are a discontinued wheel tho from my understanding. All black ones would be sick... Weather it was matte and gloss or how ever u do it..

fawk! really? I didn't know that they were discontinued... hopefully this summer I can still get a set from ebay or from someone on tech. I really want a set that I can powdercoat all black. I just will not spend the amount of money on CCWs to later have them powdercoated black...cause I'm not rich lol.

I know this isn't exactly the same as the RUFF 278, but you might like it.
Have you looked at the HP Flight,in the Black Knight series?

The TSW and Crays are both nice, but the TSW's look nicer, and the Crays are available in a wider wheel. Pick what's most important to you.

yeah those crays are great. I think I'm gonna stick w/ them since they are teh closest to ruff 278s.. i'll probably get black w/ a chrome lip ..and see if I should powdercoat them or not. and I'm getting these wheels this summer not now .

yeah. seeing that you have black car i would leave the lips polished until you make your mind up. i think that breaks up the look well.

Those roh drift r wheels are nice, better than ruffs. And crays are vette wheels, so cross those off your list.

The 10.5" wide Crays will work just fine with the addition of 20mm hub spacers.
