How do you guys think Satin Black repro cup wheels would look on my Daytona Sunset Orange? It has a transparent roof, just to help you guys with the visual.
Any pictures of like cars would be appreciated as well!

To be quite honest I think DSOM is a little dark for black wheels as I think IOM looks gorgeous with black wheels. I'm just having trouble visualizing my car with black wheels...

That is a tough color to pull off black wheels....if you did it, you'd have to lower it to make it look better, otherwise stick with silver.

How about competition grey guys? I don't really think I'm feeling the black. Or what about black with a DSOM pinstripe?

No pinstripe. Comp grey is a better choice than black.

Exactly my first thought.
I vote to go silver or gray, or chrome. But obviously, it is yours to pick.

That does look good. Not sure I'm feeling the competition grey though. Like I said I'd be purchasing Cup Repros and all I saw that was available in at Carlisle was gloss black, satin black and machine finished silver.

Go with the satin black cups! But then I am biased.

If you are going toward a sports car look, black looks better.
If you are going for a luxury coupe look, stick with chrome.

I think satin black cups would look good...powder coat your calipers the same orange as your car and lower it...
