Default BRAID wheels photoshopped

Been working with Paul on some replacement wheels. His patience and professionalism is really great. I like to photoshop my choices. So far I'm liking the BZ repro in black. (photo is not my car, but very similar). What do you like?

Are you trying to go to 17" wheels and tires? I'd still go with the Fuchs.

16". 16x8 and 16x9 so I can use the new tires I just bought.

Of the photos you posted, the greyed out Fuchs by far.

Thanks guys I'll be deciding this week. Happy to bash out a photoshop if someone wants to see a wheel on their car.

Love the darker Fuchs, however, those 5 stars 2nd from the bottom are VERY nice. Personally those 5 stars in a brushed aluminum or gun metal would look gorg.

I'm planning on Gulf Blue when I get around to cosmetics. Wheels will be black or gun metal.

Those Fuch replicas are about 14 pounds in a 16" -- very light!
I imagine the forged wheels are pretty light as well.

I would go with the last image but I would use black anodize on the center.

My 2nd choice would be the original Fuchs.

Then we have something like this.

Thanks guys! I went with the first ones, Fuchs replicas in 16x8 and 16x9, all satin black. 14-15 pound wheels!

Looking forward to getting rid of the cheap mismatched knockoffs I have now.
