I'm trying to like those, but for some reason I just don't yet.
Like I said before, so many people have done the "black out" look with the M6 time attacks already, you're bound to get tired of the look a few months down the road... I can almost guarantee it.

I was in the same dillema a few months back, but decided to NOT get them because I know it's getting a little played out. I think you'll appreciate the black out look more if you did something different in the set-up (wheels that is).

Yeah, right now I like the Breyton Race GTS, and the new VMR 710's in matte blk. What are some others?

black on black looks cool, but after a few months it might feel too monotonuos. black/gun metal center w/ polished lip or M5/M6 makes me feel more exited looking at the car....but thats just me.

Those are both EXCELLENT choices!

But honestly, you can get any wheel and just powdercoat them black and you'll be original!

From the looks of it, it looks like you're leaning towards the 1 piece full face wheel look. So I suggest either those that you mentioned above, or even Miro M5 style 166's Powdercoated black - I've only seen 1 other guy do this and that was member "Rated M"

Im such a Nazi, but even the black with polished lip is getting a little eh?!

I mean, I see Toyota Scions, Mustangs, Hondas and Acuras doing the whole Black with polished lip look too. Just go all black or not at all.
