Hey guys. I want to pick up some wheels before summer gets started, and Ive become obsessed with black wheels. My question is, should I go all black or go black with a polished lip. Car will have all the mods in my sig, plus a splitter and m5 rear/skirts. Here are some sample pics, and also it will more than likely be dropped slightly and on 19"s

i think those wheels in the first pic will look small in 19" due to the lip. So my vote would be fore the 167 reps in 19"
But 20" wheels with a black center and a polished lip will look right IMO....
GL with your decision...

Yeah the STP 3's look small from the pictures Ive seen. But just to clarify, Im also looking for other wheel suggestions. These were jsut to show the opposing options. Is it bad that all black has been growing on me as well lately?

Give me two weeks and I can show you a pic of Titanium silver with the VMR 710 in black. They are on back order and I should have them around the middle of this month.
Oh and by the way Gene those are gunmetal 710's not matte black 710's in that pic..

Mine is Titanium Silver too and I've got chrome lip with brushed centers. When the car & wheels are clean, it looks great but when the wheels are dirty, it looks ordinary. All black like in the first picture has really grown on me and I'm considering a re-finish to all black - my car is in serious need of some contrast.
For what it's worth, I think you're on the right track by considering all black.
