Please help us figure out which one would look better on Cuzimack's car.

Our plan is going with a 22" staggered setup. We already have the style finalized, now its just a matter of what finish.

Here is what the car currently looks like.



Option A - Brushed finish with chrome lip.



Option B - Black center with color matched outer lip.

hey Sam.. I voted for Brushed face/Chrome lip because that's a classic combo.. color match lip might be a bit much, but hard to be sure unless I see pics with lips in his car color.. 22s are gonna be sick on that badboy.. good luck!!

Here are some pics of Black centers with Color Matched lips. Only thing different I would do personally is Gloss Black rather than Matte Black on the centers.

Photo's were taken of a car modded by 503 Motoring with Breden Forged wheels.

Any Nor-Cal members who may be interested in some Breden Forged wheels, please PM me.

Because Im a firm disbeliever in chrome I voted for the latter. Chrome is tacky is so many ways...

I like the brushed face with the chrome lip. I don't mind a little touch of chrome, especially with a silver color. When a members goes chrome wild like Envy did, that's another matter.

I really like the silver 750 pictured above it makes me want to go with the brushed face w/ chrome lip, but i'm really considering the black face with color matched lip (it's something different i guess). I dunno....

After seeing the pictures above and remembering my extreme distaste for chrome, I'd say go with the black centers with color matched lips. I agree with Sleek though, get the center gloss black instead of flat. Good luck, we can't wait to see stage 3
