Default New wheels for the new toy

I was wanting to mimick the look of DopefedZ's CCWs with the brushed face/polished lip on these Billet Specialties Street Lites. But, I went with powdercoating because I had a hookup through a friend...and this is what he came up with. I think it looks pretty killer, waiting for them to ship back to me now. Going to be running a 17x7 up front and a 15x10 in the rear, I'll post up when I get the tires mounted and them on the car toward the end of next week. Just a teaser pic for now...

Thanks...yeah I may end up ordering some 17x11s to run street tires on, just depends on how often I end up driving this car around. I've only seen one other car with the 17x7/15x10 combo and his car had a narrowed rear under it - mines stock width, and I guess that kind of intrigued me to do something different...I dig the 17/15 look.

Going to be running 275/60/15 MT radials on the back, 215/50/17 Continental sport something or others on the front...haha, a lightweight summer tire.

Yeah that'd look really good - like a matte or satin black. I honestly thought about that too, I like black on pewter (my car), but I didn't wanna lose the spokes or make the wheels look smaller than they are - IMO black centered wheels make em look smaller. If you could do satin centers and do a satin tailpanel that'd look killer.
