Default Thinking about switching to mesh wheels on my Formula WS6

I currently have black 19" HP wheels but they are the 5 spoke pattern (dont know the name). I was thinking about going with a silver/chrome mesh style rim because these just seem like a dark wheel with no real pop to them. What do you say?

here is the car sorry for the low quality pictures

i think a set of chrome/silver wheels would look good on that car not so sure about a mesh style wheel they are real hit or miss. if u do end up getting some new ones i may be interested in the ones u have depending on how wide they are

I voted the mesh but I really do think it would look good either way. Im just not a big fan of rivets but I like the silver black color combo.

I've got 19" HP Evos on my Formula, I think they look awesome. I like black wheels on silver cars because they provide a contrast. Silver wheels look good too, chrome not so much.

It is the magnaflow exhaust with the cannon tips, it also had headers and an ory with a bullet and cutout added to the y pipe.
I was thinking about that but i really think just switching to a silver mesh wheel would look the best.

I'm gonna say go with mesh wheels. Silver only, avoid the chrome ones, they look cheap.
