No opinions?

1. Black spiders with red stripe.
2. Gray Spiders.

Anybody?

Here is a close up. (with the iPhone)...

Of the two choices, I say the grey spiders.

You already have black wheels. Time for a different look.

I like the black w/red stripe. Keeps the black theme going, but adds some nice contrast and look to the overall package.

IMO - grey is very boring.

my vote is neither. I'd prefer all silver of that wheel design. but since you like both, I guess it's your choice since both are too dark to enhance the looks of the car.

I have #1 (just posted pics in this thread >> linky). If I were to do it again, I think I'd do all black or look for a thinner red stripe like on the Centennial wheels.
