Yup, agree with the gloss black but either is great on the silver I think.

Beautiful pic. The black looks SOOOOOO much better than the Silver, I'm getting another set just to keep a spare set of tires on.

JonB has a spectacular aura aboutJonB has a spectacular aura aboutJonB has a spectacular aura about
Dark Wheels

I set out to do some hollow spokes in matt black for my silver car, but ended up going with a gray color called "black chrome". These will by my track wheels.

I hope to get some 19's for the street with a black center and polished lips in the near future.

I dont know, I bought these from IllM3 (Martin). But usually about 75-100 a wheel at most places. I think the stock wheels have to be sand blasted to get the paint off first, so could be more.


I'll know soon though because the ones I'm getting from Mikelly are goind straight to powdercoating.
