The polished finish would look 100000% better than the black and I am the biggest advocate of black wheels.

The red stripe would look great on any red, black or white car that had a few red accents. If the stripe matched the body color you'd be in business.
Couldnt agree more. I have an NBM car with the same wheels OP has on it now. Techni-polish finish with polished lips jut fit NBM so well. I would never put a black wheel on a navy blue car. Im still in for pictures though and would like to be proved wrong that it can look good, I wont totally knock it until I actually see it. Nothing wrong with going outside the box either..

Agree with both comments. The technipolish is a really great finish and looks great against pretty much all colors. As far as putting the fm5's on this car while the car is nbm, my long tern goal is to repaint it. The paint is definitely a 10 footer. I may get my wish early since the car just got hit a few weeks ago.

I'm thinking matte silver or matte white for the car. My dad has an autobody and paint shop so the biggest roadblock is finding time.

and mac, when are you going to post some pictures of those fm10's you waited so long for!

There was a cool matte white GTO on their forum.. pretty cool. Go to the wheels section in 'tech and there's a Fikse wheel thread! OMG... the DSOM SS and hugger Camaros look SICK! There are a few NBM cars too...

Thanks. Unfortunately, I still haven't mounted them yet.

I had them done by http://www.thepowderpro.com/. He goes by SilverGhost on here and I believe is a sponsor.

I'm not too sure either. This was kind of an experiment. They would look killer on a silver car!
Ohh man tell me if those in a Bronze without the red pin stripe will look good or in Grey/cyber grey will look good in my NBM WS-6
