I guess we need options : one set polished, one set full black, one set silver, one set black with cobalt lip. I got two out of four already :-)

What abot left side full black, right side black polished?

Dunno mate.

I like both looks, if it was my car all black!

Looks harder!

Is it a racer or a shower?
Show is shiny/polished race is the other.

I am thinking of trying a very thin stripe round the outside. In blue or red or silver. A bit like the polished rim but much thinner. Am going to get wheel rim tape and see how these options look. Will post pics soon.
