Just picked up some rims; opinions on color?
My newly aqired LS460L received a few toys this weekend, the mod bug finally hit me a month later, so I got tints done, bought some rims and got a valentine 1.
I am looking for some opinions on what to do with the rims I just bought yesterday. I promised myself I wont mod this car right away, but oh well- I got a great deal
so really cant complain, they are 20s but this is my daily and I drive a lot so 22s aren't an option for me.
Here they are against my car:
they are petrol vengeance
I cant decide what to do with them, which one would be better?
1.keep them black/ polished dish
2.black/ white dish
3. white/polished dish
4. or polish the faces of the spokes and leave the inside black, which will look something like this:
Any opinions are welcome-good or bad, I am leaning towards the #2 or #4.

Those Petrol wheels are the same as my old TSW Snettertons. They are made by the same company. They will look nice. My only issue is that I had bead leaks and rust on 4 of my wheels after only 3 years. I traded the car with the wheels on the car. Not saying its common. Just letting you know what happened to me. When I contacted TSW to tell them about the bead leaks and the rust they said I was out of luck. This is why I went with VOSSEN for my wheels. They have an amazing warranty and they stand by their products. I had an issue with my wheels and they are sending me a new set. That is the best customer service from a wheel company I have ever heard of or dealt with

thanks for the opinions, guys I am also leaning toward polishing the faces
Does anyone know if I just sand and polish the faces of the spokes, will it destroy the black powdercoat on the sides/inside of the spoke? I really dont want to polish the entire spokes just the face, i think that will give a much nicer look, plus its a lot less work

Go on to Craigslist in the washington DC area. A guy is getting rid of a set of 22 inch Vossens. They are in mint condition with good tires for like 1800 or something around there. Seems like a really good deal.

Black would really look nice if you got some dark tints on your windows and possibly tail lights smoked out. I think it would look sick! But I dont want to customize YOUR car for you so do whatever leaves you content.
