so whatcha think guys? lol
 
if someone is good with photoshop and can create that look that would be awesome so i could actually see it
 
+1 with northerncountry. I think it will look good and it will be unique. Haven't seen that anywhere else.
 
I like that you are trying to be different but I am not sure how it'll look. I wonder how all blue would look? Maybe non Gloss? Someone photoshop it for him!
 
Hi Snakebit. Since you are asking, I have to say that I think it would be a big mistake to have white accents on those beautiful wheels. I have never seen a set of white wheels, or a set with white trim that I thought looked clean or exciting. Those wheels are perfect the way they are. If you want to be a little different, you might consider having the color of your stripes the color you choose for this. I think the white would only make the spokes look thicker, which would ruin them. There is a good reason few people are into whitewall tires nowadays. They are a little too "busy" and draw one's attention away from the "whole" look of the car and the wheel and tire combination. Of course this is my opinion and my taste, and not necessarily what will work for you. Also consider that you have two sets of stripes on the car already. If you get "cute" (busy vs. clean) with the wheels, you risk having a look that challenges the cleanliness of the whole package even more. I hope that helps.
 
well too late cause they have been painted lol I'm not sure i like it but I'm stuck with it for now
 
You can always change it if it starts to grind on you. If you've seen the pictures of my Cobra Rs that Emilio kindly posted for me, you may agree that they are a little too gaudy. If I had it to do over again, I would just go with the darker shade of gunmetal. Still, it's not too bad (to me at least), so I can live with them if I don't end up selling them. Wheels are a very subjective thing. Most wheels that guys choose don't really do a lot for me. But they can always say the same about my choices. Your choice of wheels is excellent.
