The black trim and tinted windows make those wheels look perfect on that car. Wouldn't work for me.

Have you looked into the NewGen wheel line yet? They have some nice designs and offer some of them in a concave and deep concave forged centers if you like that look. I'm patiently waiting for my deep concave NewGen wheels to show up

Haha just to throw a wrench in it take a look at this finish option, a nice alternative to black:

Ha Ha, very funny . Those are cool looking and I want black wheels pretty bad but I agree with what you said. With the chrome mirrors, bumpers, and bottom strip, polished lip is going to have to be the way to go.

Center colors is what I'm working on now and I dont think I will be going with black.

G-man.... I know you are really trying to make black work..... you could always just make those white stripes black... shouldn't cost too much.

Black stripes would look bad ass with those Forgelines Rybar posted above.

Already thought about it. Paint isn't out of the question but it wouldn't be stripes. I picked up an aluminum rear deck lid a few months ago and have a couple of other light weight goodies that will need to be painted also so it's going to have to go back to the paint shop anyways but lets save that up date for later. I'm having trouble enough trying to figure out what wheel.

If I go with polished lip and silver center for now I can always powder coat later.

Default Forgeline WC3s

Hey Gaetano,

I live in Lincoln and have these WC3s with satin black centers and polished outers. If you want to try them give me a call we can work something out. I would hate to see you spend that kind of money and not be completely satisfied. I will pm you with my number. I looked at wheels for 5 years and finally pulled the trigger and I am very happy. Also check these out, they are WC3 with gunmetal centers on an orange 69. http://www.pro-touring.com/showthrea...WC3&highlight=

Guy lives about 45 minutes from me and I'm going go over to his place and throw his WC3R's on my car to see how they look. They are polished with black centers.
