I though the low-gloss black would look killer. Especially with the titanium bolts and I get a 2-lb per a wheel weight savings.[/QUOTE]


I think the black with titanium fasteners would look bitchin'

I guess I didn't notice that in the photos I've seen, whoops! Well, which is easier to maintain? That's always the tie-breaker for me...LOL

After looking at the link to Forgeline's page, I would go with Onyx black centers and titanium fasteners. The carbon black centers may look good too. Decisions, decisions.....

I would pop for the light weight bolts
 
do gloss grey centers.

I like the way they were before. I also saw photos of the car when the centers were silver. I liked that too. I know that is not the look you are going for...

I talked to Forgeline about the Onyx.. he said it's really just a shiny black center but in the pic it looks charcole.. so think shiny black.. lol

I'm digging the carbon black though.. like you said, decisions. It's between the carbon black and the gunmetal (gloss).

My dad has always said choosing the right wheel is the hardest decision to make during a build. I am starting to think he is right, because I too, will soon be in the same predicament. I am not sure what wheels I want to go with for my Elky, I was actually throwing aroung the idea of going with polished Forgeline SP3P's or Intro Vista 5's.

Carbon black, black center, titanium fasteners....final answer Regis!

I like the gun metal finish, pretty cool, but I don't think it'll work with the paint you have as well as the carbon black.

And yeah, I'm lazy as hell.... :D I'd rather be drivin than cleanin.

Enough brake dust and they will be flat anyway.

I just chatted with Forgeline.. nice they put up with my anal rententive nature. lol

He said the carbon black, if handled, shows up finger prints and oils more due to the flatter finish. He says the color is pretty cool though. Just a bit tougher to keep looking perfect.

I think I will pay the extra $$ to upgrade to the TI fasteners. Seems like cheap HP.

So now it's between the gun metal with TI fasteners or the Carbon with TI fasteners..
