Default Black or Chrome? (pics)

Have chrome spyders, never been a fan, but the car looks stock and classy.

I like the OEM split spoke wheels so I picked up a nice used set (genuine speedlines, not reproductions) and powder coated them in satin black. The coat job came out decent, but obviously the center caps have to be spray painted. Haven't mounted yet, but not sure how I feel about it.

I photo chopped a mock-up... note that the wheel images I used are from another car, and are glossy (not satin) and DIRTY so it doesn't exactly capture the exact look, but is the best I could do quickly.

Thoughts on this look? I don't think I've seen a mag gray with these wheels in black. Hoping it looks better mounted.


First pic - current, as the car stands now


Second pic - mockup with internet images of a black wheel

Third pic - my powder coated wheels with sprayed caps. Will put C6 flag stickers on the caps.

just replied to your coating thread but we think it'll be setup. Give it more of a sporty look to it.
