Some blackout.

This is what, I was looking for not too blackout. Simple, just a touch.

I have never seen this before not sure how or if I like it but it's better the black rims IMHO.

That looks good. I picked up some gumby wheels and purchased black centercaps. Don't have them on yet. Had not thought about black lugs. My car is DSOM so I think the black centers would look good.

I think that's what I paid for my chrome lugs from the tire shop. I thought that was a good deal. I'm glad to know I can buy replacement center cap on line if I ever need them.

Change the look again!

Plastic dip wheels and a functional hood scoop now supercharged engine stays nice and cool.

I think that if the wheels are chrome, the lugs and center caps should be too.

On the Fence

I have a white Vette with the Gumby wheels and have been considering the gloss black center caps to add a bit of contrast. But I am still on the fence on whether I really like the look or not (which I guess means I probably don't!)
