Wheel Opinions
I just got my CCWs and wanted to get some input. I have had black wheels on my car for a while, and wanted to try something new.
Option 1: Leave these polished and put them on the car.
Option 2: Take them apart and get the centers powder-coated black.
Here is how it sort of looks now -
I am really liking the polished, but would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!

Gonna go the other way on this one, I love black centers on Yellow Vette's, to me looks killer. Really though the question is what do you like, thats what
you should do.

I went out and got the Mothers Polish ***** (one large, one small), all sorts of polish, etc.
I am looking forward to a new look. Now I just need the other 2 wheels to show up!!!
