I don't mind it that much, it does break up the monochrome look somewhat.

yea i agree, i had the miro m6 time attacks on my e60 before and the red pinstripe was way thinner, try making the red stripe thinner, maybe it will look better
+2 I agree with the thin stripe. Since you have the red barrel I would of left it all black and painted the calipers red or just get a thinner stripe with the red barrel. I'm going to mount my rims today and I'll post up some pics when it's done. Still a good job though

Looks like a chick with a glob of lipstick around her mouth, opening real wide and she's about to stuff a big..........Eggplant Parm in her mouth. Wait, where did you think this was going? (Sorry, couldn't resist...I'm currently reading, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell).
Book is hysterical. Time attack on those is pure cheeseball :thumbsdown: Your car is way too cool and way too put together for that nonsense. The barrels look insane on their own. Please step away from the electrical tape

I am a bit confused here...

I feel I would have to say I like them, but on the other hand that stripe is very thick and doesn't suit the front wheel as good as the rear for some reason... . My TAs are only 7mm (0,36") thick.

Many are saying that all black would be better. Well I think that now when I'm looking back some older pics of my car when it was all black, it looks weird! I also think that one can get bored with the all black theme much sooner than a car with "normal" color wheels. That happened to me during 1 summer and that's why I put the TAs --> loving the look again .

Damn u I forgot how much I love your time attacks. Still wanna see them in silver though. I think they look better on wheels without a lip. The lip sets his wheels off enough that I think the time attacks take away from the aesthetic of the actual wheel, where yours are a subtle compliment. I'm a wishy washy ass anyway who cares what I think. Do what makes you happy
