i've thougt about this again. and tried picturing it. number 1 works well but number 2 would flow better with the chrome trim and chromed headlights. plus your car is that blue onyx? that nice dark blue right? 2 is definitely a better option to go with the flow but the best thing i can say is DO WHAT YOU WANT!

its not going to look like the photoshop edit. It should look more like the ones in the picture I had brought up. here is a pic of mine seize did for me .. My wheels are full chrome. I wanted gloss black lip and flat black inside, here is what it looks like. but I know that the real deal is not going to look like that.......................................Its gonna look BETTER. My wheels are already at my friends shop that is a painter so I should be getting some pics up here soon enough.

You see, the cars above contrast the wheels. Bright vs dark. So you're powder coating it black? Cant wait

HAHA NICE AVATAR. Teh Botol yum
