Black wheels on NBM look out of place on most cars to me. I would leave them alone, you're car looks awesome as it is!

Thanks, your car looks bad *** too. I am just ready for a dramatic change, im tired of fooling with polished wheels, love the tire sizes, and everything on the car is black now other than the wheels/tips so thats why i been thinking black rims.

before you change it, post in the photoshop section and get someone to PS some black centers on your wheels. see what you think then...

I've been dying to see all black ttII's. NBM looks best all polished IMO.

paint the middle NBM? never thought of that. usually matching rims unless black look stupid on cars. but thats usually ricers too lol. if i dont black these out im gonna sell them and get different rims bc i am totally hating polished.

navy blue metallic centers might not look bad, remember early 70's Camaros had color-matched wheels that had a similar spoke pattern. Get someone to photoshop it

Leave em alone...going from a polished or chrome rim to black is like going from a trans am to a sunfire.

WTF.....there's other colors of powdercoat besides black.


MATCH THE CENTERS TO YOUR CAR ! ! ! ! leave a polished lip and center cap.

Yeah i think im just gonna trade my TA for a sunfire with colored rims and a of course spoiler and fart pipe. ok heres the deal, i am sick of maintaining polished rims and every detail of my car other than the tips and rims are black now. adding gray or any other color isnt happening. if i DONT powder coat these then im selling them and getting chrome or black wheels, polished blows. i love the style but hate the work, its just not worth it to me to have polished anymore. plus adding black (or whatever) breaks up the monotony of TT2s, who hasnt seen a TA on TT2s? im trying to make my car memorable LOL..
