Default Ok Ive been thinking about some 18" wheels

I currently have the factory cup wheels on my 3.3 turbo. I have been considering some speedlines...............but then thought about the speedlines with the black centers.
Whaddya guys think? Looking for some good wheel pics, especially speedlines with black centers.

Thanks
Chas

To be honest it is your call but from a value standpoint the speedlines are far harder to sell painted than if kept silver or polished. So If you decide to buy black centers consider they are harder to unload and will not command as much $$ if you want to change again.

Do a search on refurbished Speedlines I restored a set for Busta Rib. I believe he posted pictures in May of this year. The results were outstanding. Jim jdorociak@gmail.com

Here's a shot of black centers (not speelines but gives you an idea). I do prefer the look of the cup 1's however over others...they just seem to feel right with the body of the 965. Look at an extra set of wheels like a change in shoes...sometimes it just feels good to try on something different!

Hi Mark, man your car is pretty with those wheels. Still regret that I had to sell them, but they went to a good home.

They do not have to be metallic silver, polished, or satin black - live a little and enjoy life on the wild side. This picture does not exist, so enjoy. Jim
