HEAVY!!! I will try get them weighed when they come off to get painted.

Let me think about the colour change. Im liking the Black Chrome idea, however a very light black chrome.

Something like this perhaps?

i like them both, but learn towards the silver just because of the car's dark paint work.

Arbee your car looks tops and the darker colour makes it look like a fighter.If u don't mind me asking who does the black chrome locally ?:thumbs:

 

[Arbee]

Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciate it. Im still undecided though, while i value your opinions, i like to make the last decision myself. Will see what happens, maybe i wont paint them... Maybe i will.

To me, at the moment, it looks great, its the look i wanted. However, i find that the wheel looks as if its too big for the car. Hence i get the "Yoh, those wheels" response. I would to get that subtle, "oh wow, those wheels" response. And, i think the wheels with a bit of colour will get that. But, im worried im going loose the concave effect with a darker shade. Catch 22 situation!!!

Thanks!! I have not found anyone yet, well i havent really looked.

First, i need to get me some smaller wheels, either stock 17's or a nice lightweight aftermarket wheel to roll on majority of the time. Im too scared to race/drive hard with these wheels.

That's why gun metal will work, black will hide too much.
As others have pointed out, the silver doesn't match the rest of your stealth theme.

Forgot about that...

To be honest.

Mags look great with he car, but I would keep their colour.
Getting them colour coded to the car might take the attention away from them.

Thanks...

I kinda want to lessen the attention the wheels are getting. At present, the wheels are getting more attention than the car itself. Agree?

You're right, the silver makes the wheels looks bigger. As great as they look, they sort of detract from the overall theme of the car.

This is what I've been saying
Wheels should add to car, shouldn't 'make' the car.
