Default Black and Blu? Couple of pics

So, after much effort and anticipation... and expense... I am not so sure I like it. I had some mesh-style wheels on the car prior to this project.

Definitely a different look. A certain look.
Anyhow, I'll live with it for a while and see
They are powder coated in a sweet looking matte black.

These are the first shots I took the other morning after geting them on. There are matching black center caps on now.
G'day!

Mark.
Not typically a fan of black wheels - but in this case it works for me. Rivi Blue is so vivid, that black accents look sharp againt the color.

If you have nightmares about the wheels, I'll take 'em.

I am not a fan of the black rims, but have always thought about the prospects after seeing the Prickly One's Rufs. I must say now that I see it on your Turq Blue car I LIKE!!!!!!. Looks great.

It looks great. That said, I am just not a fan of black wheels. IMHO I think that a set of MY02s in silver would work better.

I like them muchly. You just need to add some silver-crested-Porsche centres to give it something in the middle and they'll be perfect.

Beautiful Cab! The wheels are nice, but my personal preference is more traditional with the silver MY02s.

+1. And maybe wipe the mud off of the rocker panels. Kids these days.

Oh I wish it was Rivi Blu!

It's the next best of the "crazy" blues, Blue Turquoise.

Thanks for the comments, plus and minus... maybe it will grow on me. I really don't dislike it.

and yeah Cactus, I still need to clean the little colored dots off of the tires. I need some Stoner product. Wonder where I can get some?
