So you dont like them that much? I think the chrome ttms would really offset your car more.

I think gunmetal looks great on Pewter. You could change your Blackbird stripes to gunmetal to match, but I don't know if you would want to go through the extra work if you aren't that sure about the wheels in the first place.

I don't think they look bad at all. I went black TTs. I liked how they matched my top, badges and dark tint.

I almost did this myself (I have the exact same car even the ragtop) and realized you've got to color-match the centers to the pewter.

This means getting the paint code and buying some automotive paint and having a professional paint them and seal them....however, when you add all that materials cost and labor in, you might as well just got a set of I-forged for a little bit more $ a wheel and have them color match it to the paint code you provided at their factory before they are shipped to you.

Now that would be baller. Not sure if it's worth it to do on a 7 year old car now.

i like the gunmetal on pewter, and though i dont have as nice of wheels as you do, i did have both looks more or less. but torque thrusts look great too! just a preference....i say keep it and be different, everyone has the chrome tt's.

Not really feeling that style of rim. The color okay but different rim.
