not a fan personally. I put them on my car and didnt like them. They do look better on a darker car though.

I guess its subjective. I think they look better on lighter cards such as red, white and silver. All of those can get away with a black or charcoal stripe and with some other matching colors (dark wheels, window tint, trans am/camaro letters, black rear bumper) they can look great.

I'm considering the gunmetal heavily. The previous picture looked great. I'm trying to make the car a little more unique a sea of black ws6's in my area. I just don't want to be tacky. BTW, the Y2k vette wheels are up for trade. I don't like them. Looking to get back into a stock wheel for now.

I think we have the same ones. They only look like I want them to in lower light. If the sun is out they look completely white. I was thinking about replacing them with a darker or non-metallic stripe as I don't like the white look. Other than that I get a lot of compliments.

I voted yes BTW...

Here are some pictures of mine Evilface did them, we chose the Dark charcoal metalic. This color is really cool, in direct sunlight it looks silver but in the shade or at night there alot darker almost like a gost effect
