That actually looks really good. Once I get tired of always having to clean my TT'2 to make them look decent I may have to look into powder coating mine.

wow I just had deja vu 3 times with this post. I could have swore I saw it in two other forum sections.

Anyway, its not my style but doesn't look too bad. The black makes the rims look really small though but atleast you won't need to clean them often.

Thats exactly what I DONT think it needs. I am sick of the chrome lip. It looks just plain dirty like that...in a good way!

2 dark colors to match well, it needs a contrast. OR I was thinking the center cap a lighter color, silver, chome. IMO

It does look like it's missing something. Maybe I'm used to seeing a chrome lip. But the rims came out really nice!

They look good. I'd also polish the calipers for a little added bling, and maybe paint the brake pads red or orange.

Like others said: needs contrast.

Looks too Knight Riderish to me...

it certainly is your car but being very different doesn't mean its in a good way. You posted your pics on an open forum so there is always the chance of criticism. If you like it, which you obviously do, then thats great and all that matters.
