I would pick a wheel that looks good, and then have the finish done to my liking.. I would NOT own a wheel with rivets.. Just my personal taste, but I'd rather rock generic steel wheels/spares before I'd rock a rivet wheel.

I like the rivets on my wheels, they flow well to me.

But I don't like any of the choices you have up right now.

The CCW's look the best, I vote for the black ones, or the matti black ones. If the matti black ones didnt have the rivets it would be a no brainer. GL car looks sick.

This may be a dumb response and please correct me if I'm wrong, but could you have any of the above powder coated in a matte finish? Then you could take whatever wheel you want, powder coat it and not have the rivets.

Not sure if this is possble but would be a good idea in your case I think.

I think that's what I'm going to do. I'm probably going to get the ones with the stainless steel lip with no rivets and have the centers powder coated flat black instead.

i say keep the ones u got for the street and through a set of prostars on(or something similar) with slicks/DR's for the track.

even though i kno u said u dont want a track set i think this is the best option. besides u shouldn't be street racing anyways...right?

It's nice being able to have traction on the street as well as the track. The CCW's have been sold.
