I think that of all the colored pics above, the black with silver centers look the best.

I believe that these wheels look good with the paint stripped completely, then just a clear over it. IIRC, they are aluminum. At any rate, I think they look good.

IMO, they would look bigger, no?

Black has a slimming effect...or the fashion industry would be dead

I say go with gunmetal on the lip and black on the center.

Thanks alot for your input guys, and your pics testarossa...
It's hard to choose, though I'm liking a combination of gunmetal and polished aluminum...

thats what i'm saying.....they are already small enough without keeping them black...especially on a black car.

i like the idea of no paint and fully polishing them too?

hderr posted this the other day. It's a video his daughter and their son's black or burgandy 944 with clean cookies. I think that it looks great! Just needs some tires with stiffer side walls.
