Here's some I had on the '00 coupe I owned:





But either way, some of the pewter cars with black wheels shown above look really good.

They are currently polished...but here's a photoshop of how I'm going to powdercoat them. Gloss barrels, matte faces. Iforged Aeros 19/19.

Wheel size, style, and now color is such a subjective thing. Each to his own.

But, my car is QuickSilver Metallic; and I'm so glad my wheels are not black. I like the machined Silver Clear Coat look best.
