Color (wheels)

I am thinking of either selling these, or getting some new rims.

- I kind of feel the Black on Silver is being played out.

Can anyone with better P/S skills make a silver center on the rims, or maybe a Anthracite (sp?) color.

If it looks pretty good I plan on sending them off to the powder coater.

Thanks
G

I think your car looked the best with the polished HRE's you bought it with. Never cared for the dark wheels on silver.

From: HOU - yeah, you know the rest.

Looks good the way it is but, the anthracite would also be a cool look and a bit different.

Might be interesting to see them the same color as your car with the polished lip. But I agree with 9-ball they looked best polished.

G, I'm in the process of machining my own custom set of wheels. I have some designs in the making right now and I will be making myself some as soon as I finish the design. Titanium is the way to go but it is not cheap and I now have the machine to make them.

by the way. the only thing I dont like about your wheels it the rivets. I used to like them, but have grown to hate them. just my opinion tho.

I am biased, but I still dig the black wheels on silver cars. But I'm like Donohue96M6Z28, I don't really dig the rivets.

But I did photoshop this for ya:
