So far it looks pretty good.

This is not meant to be negative, but I can tell you applied the red pin stripe. Also something different to help you go a little further, get black anodized bolts with red anodized nuts. The I think that would make the wheels pop like crazy...in a good way. May want to take care of the valve stem in black too.

Just a little input is all. Again overall it looks good.

yup thanks! applied the red pinstripe to check out the look, i didnt want to mess with the bolts or perm. pinstripe as the car color might be changing so will see. this is mainly to gauge the look and be able to photoshop the next look alot better so will see.

heck have a shop or if you have the means to, brush the face and lip. Blacked out windows always look great.

What other looks are you trying to play with?

blah just did a quick check over on red bolts and its a def. no! as that would just be way to much. my brake calipers are also red. the red pinstripe is used just to break the wheel up a bit and show a diff. level.

Looks good! Agreed. The red bolts are a bit over board.

Good call. If you pulled up with wheels like that I would expect 12 clowns to get out of the car.

BTW: Anodizing is for non-ferous metals like aluminum. Definitely not the material you wants those nuts to be made of.

ya the stripe and hardware might be a bit too much. What I had in mind when saying that was this Vette, though the lips are polished/chrome

Maybe try just the red on the black lug nuts, and see how that looks.
