Default What do you prefer?

Which option do you like. My car isn't black (this is a photoshop on a black ws.6), it's BMW Carbon Black, so blueish blackish, blackish blueish....anyway, let me get your opinions....





(Remember....it is just a photshop, so the colors are obvisuosy off. But the car here is black, mine is Carbon Black (BMW paint) i'd post pics of mine, but it's in it's process of being built. Anyway...let me know what you think?

I like the black centers. Really works, especially on a "blueish blackish, blackish blueish" car.

if you had the centers professionaly done then i would say black. Don't just take the out back and spray paint them. If not then just keep them polished, they will still look great, but the black would be just that much more unique

can you post a pic of your car...you dont have to photoshop the wheels in, just a plane jane pic of your car to determine color....maybe instead of black centers you can have your "blueish blackish, blackish blueish" color powercoated...it all depends on what your car looks like and what theme your goin for...i like the polished wheels better, but on THE right car, the colored centers would look killer
