Default Post up black rotor hats with black wheels!

I'm looking for some side shots or up close shots of those who have black rotor hats with black wheels.

Thanks!

Do you have any that are somewhat close where you can at least see the hat behind the wheels? Post up what you have!

Just did this on a GTO a couple weekends ago. Worked awesome and looks great. After hitting the brakes twice it looked factory. No more rusted hats

I am minutes away from doing this, but am contemplating changing my mind

The only reason is because I also have black wheels. I am afraid of the rotor hub blending too much with the wheel. I have the C5 DD's and the spokes are pretty thin. I see a good amount of rotor hat surface behind the wheels. I just don't want to look at my wheels and just see a big black center circle if that makes any sense?

Here is a pic of my wheel (Excuse the filthiness/poor quality)



I just wonder what the wheel will look like without the contrast of the rotor being the original finish.
