Default Black wheels photo on 35th - Photoshop

I'm planning on some black spoked Intro wheels for the 35th, so I whipped up a quick Photoshop image. Lowered it about an inch, put some new wheels on it.

Just a general idea:

Before


After

A nice black wheel with a silver lip would look better ..... those rims look a little too confusing for the car with the pebbles.

LOL - you need to have that back brake caliper checked out . . . :p

Looks good, but I hate exposed rim bolts. Spill the dough and get black center FIKSE FM'5s. MMMMMM!

I think black Fikses are more boring than black HRE's that I've seen. I've always been a fan of bolts/rivets on wheels, makes them look more "race" oriented in my opinion.

Looks pretty good, black wheels work out well as long as you stay with a polished lip. The polished lip breaks up the solidness of black wheels in my opinion. The rivets look good also.

I never have liked black on rims, it doesn't look too bad though with the PS'd pic.

Negative on the American Racings. I was scared that you had put up a link to Torque Thrusts. I would have had to ban you for that one (haha)

David, black Fikse's aren't boring, they are just more boring compared to blinging black HRE's :p

The American Racing racing wheel would look even better! I'm a little biased though, I just ordered a set of Boyd Furys which are VERY similar....

I like the rivets/bolts, especially on your car. I do think that the center black should be a more satin finish like the finish of the black Fikse's, instead of gloss, like the black collector edition wheels. That's why I got rid of mine, yes for TTII's, but custom powdercoated.

If you like rivets, get em.

just my .02
