Mark, would love to see that pic. I'm seriously thinking 5-spoke wheels with black centers. Either Cup IIs, MY02s or something similar. Not sure why, just feel a yellow cab needs a mean streak.

Flat black on a yellow cab would look great! I think prices are only gonna go up from what they are now, too.

Great wheels, one of the best:

Here are a couiple of photos. I need to take more.
Wheels are a matte black, the sun shining on them is a bit deceiving.

+1 on the mean streak, that was my thinking with my cab too.

I'm actually thinking black centers, silver or polished rim. Something needs to stand out. Similar to pic here: (my apologies to Overdraft): https://rennlist.com/forums/7348165-post9.html

Mark, love the color of teh car and the license plate

Bart, you know I love Aventurine too, but that pic always reminds me of mine, it just such a pure essence of Aventurine.

Thanks mike. I guess you saw my recent pics of track wheels? I painted the center of my stock cups dark metallic gray and left the lips silver. Looks great.

No, have not seen that one. Essentially, this is what I'm thinking, only in black or dark gunmetal.

My issue is that I've done some of my Miata/MR2 wheels in gunmetal and black and I get tired of them after a wile. Almost feels like some lighter color iss needed there. So I think light color lip is a must. That pic of Cup IIs is really nice. I'd like to see what yours look like.

Bart, just saw it. Me like!

What did you use to paint? How did you paint the centers caps? Any pointers? I might just get a beat up set of Cup IIs to play with.
