Having a wheel without a polished lip just makes the car look dirty IMO. Should have left them how they were because that paint definitely is not going to last.

In my opinion that is a total waste of a very classy looking wheel. If you wanted an all black wheel you should have just got some shitty salad shooters or something and painted those black. I guess each person is different in taste, so to each their own.

i think it makes a purple car look more serious, but i really dislike the red brakes on a purple car. In my opinion red brakes belong on red, black, silver or white cars only. But that's just my opinion. Anyways, wheels look good

lol i like it. i dont want class i just liek the design of the wheel. so making them all black gave it a all go no show feel, which is what i want. i want a cowl hood, and it wont bother me if thats not painted either.

i guess the look im going for is rough or unrefined. i i like the dumped exhaust, and non flashy wheels. i dunno i appreciate everyones show condition cars, but its a daily driver with too many knicks and scratches.

dude the only thing that matters is that you like it..who gives a **** what others think. The only reason why people arent liking it is because no one has done it, well there might be a reason for that haha jk, but still dude glad someone on here did something different

I like it, it's too bad that exhaust dump looks so close to the ground because I think it would look really good just a bit lower.
