Chrome spokes would look cool, the other two look too much like the ones you have on it now.

Here are the full images to give you a better look at the car.... After seeing the full image I am not really fond of the chrome spokes... IDK they look really weird.

Black spokes or all black. Chrome spokes with a black lip will look bad 99.9% of the time because the lip just blends into the tire.

Black spokes/chrome lip. The lip will break it up and be a nice accent, especially with the other chrome accent pieces on your car.

Going off that idea what if I were to make the spokes black chrome and the lip normal chrome.. Is that possible? If so I think that would be badass..

Chrome Spokes..... I think the black with crome lip that "everybody" has is over-played.
