a couple of years ago i was debating refreshing my wheels and changing the look to black spoked ,chrome lipped and leave the chrome connecting bolts and polishing the inner barrels for contrast
kinda like this (bare in mine , on the black faced wheel its just electrical tape on there) tell me what you guys think

excuse the crappy cell picture

nice ... if I were you, I will go for it. I like black spokes with polished lip myself that is why I am tempted to paint my spokes.

Ed, that looks good! I'd say go for it! What's more impressive is you used electrical tape to give yourself an idea to how it would look-the funny thing is your wheels turned out better then some painted wheels! lol

I like switching up with the black spokes.

My only concern is that your car would look just like Jerome's car. Doesn't he have similar styled wheels with black centers? Doesn't he have the same body kit?

If that doesn't bother you, go for it.

Mostly Broward-Dade counties. I see nice SC's in Broward all the time. Many not even part of clublexus.

thx bro .. this question has been at me since last year .. i love the design of my wheels but have had this look since 2007 .. im not about to spend another 5k for forged 3 piece wheels so changing the look will accomplish the same

ive always been a fan of black on black so im going to plasti dip the spokes , see if i truly like and if not i can safely remove back to normal

I personally like the black on your car! Plasti dip is a great idea for testing it out.. easy to remove and no damage left behind!

Default Change is good!

Ed, I like the look of the black face on your exisiting wheel? I thnk the black chrome or black face would allow your BBK to pop from the back drop more!

Go for it!

Obviously I would like the split 5 spoke more because that's what I have. Also I think its more aggressive than the multispoke wheels you have....befitting a powerful sport coupe.
