Default Phone dial Photoshop, opinions please

Hey guys,
Im thinking of either getting a set of turbo twists or modifying my phone dials. I added some gunmetal to them, please let me know what you think. I don't want them to look like fuchs, IMO it sort of dates the look of the car. thanks

that ride height looks good but doesn't seem like it would perform too well... I'm guessing that the photoshop job?

That color does look very sexy on the car! If you can do that, I'd rather have gunmetal PDs then Turbo Twists! Sometimes newer wheels can look odd on our cars, and as Eyal said... the PDs do just grow on ya! I kinda like them now.

Keep the PDs, make them gunmetal

NZ951 Do you want the entire rim white or just the center? Im running out to do a few errands but look for a completion of your pic later tonight. Do you want the center caps painted? BTW the car is lowered but I dropped it a few more inches for the heck of it using photoshop.

Yeah, your car is close enough, just make the grey portion of your phonies white and the centre cap white also. I am in the same boat as you. I have a choice for some Cup 2's pretty cheap, but think a fresh looking phonie may be as good in the short term.

Here are the PDs in white...sort of...its hard to make them look different than stock since the phones dials are a pretty light silver as it is. It doesnt look very good man LOL. I fully polished PD would be nice though..sorry for the half assed photochop, I gave up because it took so long to achieve that stock look

I like white PDs -- kinda reminicent of the Turbo Cup wheels. I just did mine this winter, but not quite the right shade of white, though -- gotta redo 'em.
