Default need opinions please

for the longest while i have been toying back and forth about getting the face of my wheels painted a gloss black and having the barrels also done in a gloss black


i love these &swiss wheels but think its time to change the look of the car abit

i personally think black on black with a chrome lip is hot as hell

should i leave the brushed look


should i do black painted face with powercoating the barrels black

should i do black face and high polish and clearcoat inner barrels

heres a couple of pics ( the blck is just electrical tap on the face)




i am getting ready to have rear quarters pulled about 1/4 in or so and get a 4 to 4.5 in lip on rear wheels so now is the time while disassembled to get her done

Ed, go for the black face with chrome lip, it will look nice on your car. I might be doing something similar with my setup except in 18's.

In my opinion your car looks perfect as is. To give you an Idea,With the blk face and chrome lip it's going to look like Jerome's car.
Try blk lip and alum face with a Red Pin stripe on the outer lip to accent the center cap and Rotora BBK

black face/chrome lip is very much played out and as dre said, would look similar to Rome's car. I prefer the wheels the way they are.

Where is the marble garage floor????

I prefer as-is, although black inner barrels would be hot.

How about full polished?

I don't reccomend the time attack style (black with red lip). Looks too aggressive compared to the classy look of your kit.

Other than that I would say as is.
