Default Need opinion on wheel idea

I currently have Work VSXX 18s on my Grand Prix White 964 turbo. The original Cup 1s are sitting in my storage and I want to refinish them in GPW and put them on the car. I kinda like the monochrome Miami Vice look and it would be much easier to care for than my current wheels. What do you guys think?

Sounds OK - why don't you post a side on picture and get somoene to photoshop some white Cup 1s on to it?

Or of course you may be tempted by this look instead...

Re-finish your Cup wheels in a medium gray.

I like what you already have but I understand wanting to change as I plan on putting my polished Speedlines on sometime this summer but will keep the originals for future changes.

Since you asked for opinions, please don't bring that 80s Gembella look back!! Even that 3.6 ^^looks only ok at best. I've had BBS LMs so I know these kinds of wheels are a PITA to clean. But your Work wheels are the sh*tz! Just my 0.02.

Ha, what matters is that you like it in the end. BTW, painted wheels always made them looks smaller too to me. Don't the speedlines on that 3.6 looks like 17s to you? While your Works can pass for 19s

There's different sizes. I have the 401, but probably should have gone with a little bigger one.
