All matte black would look great if you had black stripes..otherwise, it might look a little disconnected with the white stripes.

I'd probably think that too if I didn't see it on my car and then I bought it. I think it's a nice contrast and actually different from what everyone else does.

Bottom line, these threads give you 10 different opinions, but who you trying to please? Yourself, or the masses?

All that said, I honestly don't like any of these wheels for YOUR car. It doesn't fit the theme of your car IMO, unless you are taking it a more Pro Touring direction, which I didn't think you were.

I think your car deserves a more race oriented wheel--- like a CCW or something similar. :thumbsup:

Gaetano, on your car I'd like a step lip 18" wheel with a polished lip with silver, gunmetal or matt black centers.

I think a dark centered wheel would look fine on your car. Of the ones you chose I like the WC3R

GA3R is a hot looking wheel...best of the four you posted.

As for a dark center...still not feeling it.....your car already has alot going on with it...a dark center will only add to that and not tie into anything already on the car....Chrome lips, brushed center is what I think would look best.

I definitely am a big fan of bronze, but I think I'm going to start out with polished outer and silver center. I think I can always change color later if I go with their standard color.

I agree. As much as I like black wheels, the white stripes aren't a big help in that direction.

So far I'm leaning toward the WC3R. I was considering the Boze but they dont make a 10.5 so I may be crossing that one off the list which leaves the GA3R and the WC3R.

Talked to Vince today, and as much as I dont want to pay for the 18" tire prices looks like I will be going 18's.

Keep in mind CCW makes great wheels but they tend to be a bit heavy.

As far as the black goes, trust me, I'm thinking of every possible angle to make black work.

I vote for black centers, brushed, polished, or chrome lip.
