You're going to fast
I don't have any at a complete stop. This is one that shows you the wheels about as best as possible.

Not a fan of the all black wheels. It's been done. However, I do like the black center with the polished lip as it breaks up the black wheel against the black tire so you actually see the wheels.

I'm with you on this. On the seal car a set of Brushed C20's (like mine) would look great on Mobonics car , Look at this Gt silver.
Light, stong,traditional, race mesh . https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...uch-shark.html

I agree that brushed would look best.

Im going get them pc'd this week flat black... (low maintenance).

its the cheapest option and im planning on getting some 18" wheels pretty soon anyways. (my car is more about track then bling).

The clear coat is peeling on the wheels and my dealership wont warranty it.. so Im going to get them pc'd.

Thanks for the advice.

Did you end up getting the wheels painted black? I love that black TT with the black wheels. I'm thinking of painting mine all flat black also.

Nope!

Fronts weigh 17.4 lbs
Rears weigh 19.5 lbs

Now I have to just decide what rubber to get?

Trojans maybe
