Keep in mind this is just a mock up to see what it would look like before we actually powder coat them.......i wanted to get some feed back on doing it this way.....black spokes and the inner rim where the rivets are will be black as well......the rivets will stay silver along with the TSW center cap.....the lips will be chrome......

The other option was the same way as above but in stead of doing the spokes all the way.......leave the back sides of the spokes chrome and the inner parts of the spokes chrome and just the front face of the wheel and inner lip where rivets are be black with chrome lip

Funny thing is that i used black electrical tape......figured that would be the closest thing to a semi gloss black and it didnt turn out too bad for a half ass quick job........but the powder coat i am going to use will be a semi gloss with a small bit of metallic flake in it.......not much but just a little to pop a bit

Call me crazy but in the first pic the wheels look like they have a gold lip. I think it would look sick against that blue. Just my .02

I thought the lip was gold as well. I like the blacked out spokes, but I kinda dig the way it sits now, all chrome. Tough call.

Like the black better, I would prob invest next on some slotted/drilled rotors since your wheels expose your rotors so much imo?? also your car is looking sweet man, I hope to see your car soon in person soon since your so close.

I'm always going to say, do what you like best. As for me, I like them all chrome, only because your car is already sleek and one tone for the most part, and the chrome gives it a good pop but doesnt over do it.

I wanna see that thing. I never realized you were from Alabama until a day or so ago. I come through there every once in a while but will be there more next year most likely for drift events

Make it black with everything else polished or chromed.

My rims are that way and I love the look.

Yup.....black centers and chrome lips is the way i have decided that im going......im just looking for something subtle but that will still compliment the car

I'd murder the wheels out. It would flow with your tail and front end!!!!! A chrome lip would be the only chrome on the exterior of the car and look out of place IMO.

I'm just north of you in Huntsville. There are a lot of folks from Alabama on here. We should definitely try to meet up. Maybe at the WoW show? What is the date of the one in B'ham?
