Wheel Poll - What's next for Jay Slay?!

Well...I am, in my own right...a true wheel *****. I am debating to dump my Monoblocks or to just re-finish them and keep them. NY is not a very good state for driving. Even with the KW suspension, it's a little harsh at times. Also the Vredestein tire's I have, may be a tad too soft.

SO....here's the poll.

Keep the Monoblocks as is, just swap out the tires - Maybe Toyo's.
Powder Coat Monoblocks Charcoal Gloss, and Toyo Tires.
Get the HRE 897's in 19" - Gloss White Lip, Matte Black Center-Invo Tires.
Get the HRE 897's in 19", Gloss White Lip, Gloss Black Center-Invo Tires.

How about keeping the monoblocks, but going gloss white to match? Thats my vote. Clean car by the way.

either keep it as it is or get the professors. I would get the professors b/c it will be different. so many people are playing the monoblocks right now. it does look good though. One thing is dont do the painted lip style. doesnt go well with that still wheel.

powdercoat them. Monoblocks are way better looking than the 897's IMHO.
