Hey black vinyl with stainless trim. Dark green with stainless wheel wells. Dark grille with stainless outline. Hmm I smell theme dark center with polished hoops. I vote black but that's just me.

Vinyl top is cool on the formal roof. I'm a fastback guy myself oh yea I have a fastback...........

Yep, going with 18/19's now.
I recognize your name and car. :)

Right now, I'm sitting at SuperSpokes with titanium centers (not too light and not too dark) with polished hoops no matter what! No hardware either, not a fan of that.

So the color choice needs to be yours for sure. I am not a fan of the hardware either.

Yep you and I traded some mails on RRS stuff a while back maybe even some info on tire fitment.

I think without the hardware the wheels dont look quite as good. I say hardware all the way on the Rushforth wheels. Other wheels like Fikse look great without hardware but I think the Rushforth wheels need the hardware...jmho

I could go either way on that,normally I'm not an exposed hardware kinds guy because of upkeep and with four cars,I have no time for extra detailing but...when I saw the Superspokes in full smoked titanium w/hardware on display in Driverzinc's tent @ Pleasanton,I was hooked...:yes:

You really need to see these wheels in person first...:thumbsup:

I'm still saying to go gunmetal with your green shade and that vinyl top,smoked titanium will look good no doubt but I think gunmetal would be over the top.:unibrow:

Imagine these w/o hardware and with polished hoops...

And here's a Fuel look-alike w/o hardware just to further confuse you,these are flat grey:lol: :

yes, lots of confusions but I am definitely going to wait until the Pleasanton show before I order. I want to see these bad boys in person.
After seeing a few without hardware I'm looking more at ones with hardware, they don't look bad....@#%@%er@# :)

Excellent call...let the wheels speak to you.:yes:

On your car I vote no hardware...just a hunch.

I went with SuperSpokes with smoked titanium centers and polished hoops and no hardware.
19x12's and 18x8's.

Glad that's over with, again thanks everyone for your comments.

Killer choice!! I am looking forward to seeing them. Did you get them through Driverzinc?

Ordered through Frank at Prodigy Customs.

When do they arrive?
 
I'm interested in seeing those on a Torino for some reason.
