Got my wheels back today.What you guys think...keep'em black,or do it white?
Is that paint or powder? Is the silver part that left still shiny chrome, or was is sand blasted and duller that before? I think it would looks sort of crazy if you painted whats left silver on the face white, color matched inner barrel and matte black out barrel. I think that would be gangster.

It's powder coated. And everything is chrome still except the face. I was gonna do a white face at first,but thought about it and did black instead. I'll just leave it as is for now till I get bored of it and we can try another combo next time

My Ride: See sig :)
In certain colors it looks good eg. black's, grey's, silver's ,matte colors... are clean, will ALWAYS look good, but white, blues, reds, yellows, greens etc eventually be on the way out... looks too tacky, you will get sick of it espcially on bimmers, benz, etc. But on 300cs, impalas, more so domestic cars it's better suited. That my 2cents
