Default DWP with graphite/charcoal

Hi,
Does anyone have pictures of a DWP GS with graphite or charcoal wheels? I am thinking of going that direction but I am having a hard time visualizing what it will look like.

Thanks in advance,
J

Lt Lex,
Thanks for posting the pictures.

BlackSC,
I think your are right, I am looking at either Sevas S-Stars or the iFORGED Trials in gpaphite.

Default Teaser picture

It rain all day, it might rain all week, I will take some pictures when it is nice out. The Piaa Super Rozza's are very nice wheels, rotors and brakes are next on the list.

I just recently had the centers of my SSR GT3's powdercoated metallic titanium/charcoal color...They came out looking good, maybe a little too subtle for my taste, I actually thought/hoped they were going to come out a tad darker- it's just so hard to tell how a color on a color card is actually going to show up on a wheel in true light...I'm actually now considering taking them back and just getting the centers redone black we'll see....

BTW- sorry the pics aren't the greatest

thanks for all the kind words guys,,,I'm running 19X8.5 in the front and 19 x 10 in rear....Unfortunately, the only somewhat full shot of my car that I have is in my gallery (pre-powdercoating)...I've been meaning to get some better quality pics of my car, hopefully that will be soon with my friend's much more quality camera!!
