Generally polished or brush/polish look great w black IMO. I'm presonally not a fan of black wheels on a black car (need some contrast like gunmetal or titanium), but it's your car so there's no wrong choice...

Fake carbon is cheesy and won't tie in to the real carbon if you have it. Id say go black with a polished look or brushed look. But thats just my opinion

If you do decide on the Fesler wheels they usually take about 8-9 months by the way.....

Agree John on the fake/real mix and match.

I absolutely agree with both of you. These wheels are not fake in a sense. The center discs are hand overlaid in real Carbon Fiber and cost over 8K. A closer look below.

HRE makes a wheel with a real, full, 100% carbon barrel. But they start about $12k....about $3k per wheel. Like everyone else...no black on black. Maybe a brushed, polished, titanium or grey wheel center IMO.

360 Wheels makes a beautiful product!

Also, that HRE wheel is pure sex. I've read on 6Speedonline - not sure how true - Carbon barrels leak. Not sure it's every wheel, but something to think about before blowing a wad o' caish...

Thought about these to tie in with the hood, nose, deck lid and mirrors.
