I like the silver since it brings out the wheels and makes them look bigger. It'd be great to match the gray to tie it in with the car for a two tone effect. With the black, I see it as negative space so my eyes go to the car. 2cents.

Also, that is why I may consider black powder coat... it will make the wheels look completely different..

e34ntoys...yeah, he has the revtek spacers. he got them from Wheeler's Offroad.

my vote is for the polished look. the black powdercoating would be nice with the polished lip, but on another rim. i agree with you, the BBS spokes don't have a really good separating point to where it would look good if you just powdercoated the center. just my $0.02.

good luck!

I think I'm gonna go with the silver... actually, more like the color of the flares/bumper.

I really like the black, but I feel the black will take away the look of the wheels. I got them because I like the deep dish, and the multiple spokes.

I'd like to go with the black/silver lip.... but again, no clear separation point... On these, I can't make the lips polished.

I'll update when I actually do this.

Didn't there used to be a website that you could goto that had a database of cars you could change the wheels on? I would LOVE to be able to see my truck with different wheels on it to help decide the style and color.

wow.. this is a really old thread.

I like the black. I'm actually sending them to be powder coated this winter. I'm either going black or a really dark grey.
