Is that white bumble bee staying white? If so I probably would not introduce a 3rd color like gunmetal or titanium. I would probably stay black or brushed center. If there was no white bumble bee, either black or a grey titanium or gunmetal will work fine, you will just have to decide if you want to introduce a second color. If you color match the bumble bee to the center of the wheels, gunmetal or titanium centers with a matching bumble bee will be smokin cool detail.

As for mesh or spokes, I find black mesh wheels at 20 feet become solid black wheels, hard to pick up any spokes detail in black mesh wheels. 5 and 6spoke wheels all have more detail at a distance in black. Mesh wheels in Gunmetal and Titanium have more spoke detail at a distance then black, Gunmetal and titanium work great on 5 spokes also.

Here is a silver car we did we which color matched the bumble bee to the wheels centers. Maybe someone could photoshop the car black for you?

This one runs Boze 9s on the front with 265s on a stock subframe and 315s under mini tubs in the rear.

Awesome looking car Frank. :thumbsup:

My number one choice was the matte black with a polished or brushed lip.

I'm just worried about the car having too much black or the wheels won't "pop" because of the multi spoke or the mesh covers a lot of the area in the hoops.

I guess this is a dilemma that all wheel buyers go through.

ughhhh... :faint:

As always, you are too kind bro---thanks for the thanks!

Come on Dan, pick the wheels already---stop thinking about others opinion and pick them---then ask for everyones opinion when they are on the car-:cool:

Thanks Dave, coming from you, that is great compliment!

So, would you say black centered wheels on the 67 for Dan? You and I may be biased right? :unibrow:

Yes! I was going to post go with the black centers when I scrolled down and saw this.

The wheels will still 'pop.' Can't have to much black!

Just another idea... all black with polished hard wear and white pinstripe? similar to this 335 m3 conversion

Do it just like Daves in the picture above. Black or at least a dark center, brushed or polished lip.

You do realize that any of the combos you have posted will look great on there right? Buy the wheels, put 'em on and be happy!:thumbsup:

Agreed, I'll vote Night Trains!
My above pic is polished (brand new on FUel), was supposed to be brushed -clear coated, but a little order confusion, don't really care as the polished looks killer, my point either way can't go wrong.
