do something extreme, chrome out your whole car, get a chromed paint job.














jk, but i wouldnt mind seeing how one would look if someone wants to photoshop it for the lulz.

that GS posted looks great, but idk about gloss wheels with a flat paint job.
Id go flat black on the wheels as well..

You could always do Flat black vinyl...

I saw a Porsche GT3 yesterday in flat black and I loved the way it looked, so I would say do it!!! If insurance is paying, you have nothing to loose.

mmm....Streifens. THE wheels I want!
flat black? why not? the chrome trim might stand out a bit too much though...maybe black chrome the trims also (I think that'd be seeexy)?

I disagree. If you flat black the car, then the polished wheels will really set it off more. I think it would be overkill to have dark or flat black wheels with the flat black paintjob. At that point it would have that stupid "murdered out" look.
