Yes, he is talking about the wheels, they are the HP Evos. My vote is for the graphite, I think it looks nice!

I like it much better with the Graphite, however I think it needs a matching set of Blackbirds if you go that route.

i like the graphite color for the rims.
i would go with a satin or matte finish.
i have even seen a rough type finish in graphite that looked nice.
hit the like for a pic

this. Dude, your car looks soooo freakin clean the way it is. I'd keep them the way they are, i've always loved how your car looks with them.

don't get me wrong though, the graphite color looks/would look amazing as well, but i think i like the current look a tad more.


just curious, do you know how much bigger the lip is on the evos compared to the RPM 505's? it looks a lot deeper

I vote don't change anything. It looks "better" now than if you change it. But would still have the wow factor if you did the graphite. And definitely with the stripes to match. The pics looks solid!
