Wheels are a very personal choice but both of those styles seem to be a little played out imho, especially the Forgeline. If you are going with blacked out moldings etc then I think you should carry the theme into the wheels. Black or dark grey centers and polished lips. Try to carry a theme through the whole build. Maybe get a rendering?

I always liked the wheels on Hellfire, a little more up to date imho.

Just my opinion, it’s your car...

I agree Don. Everyone does have that Forgeline wheel. HRE just came out with this wheel at SEMA. So...as of now, too many people don't have it. You must've read my mind because I want matte charcoal centers with gloss black lips. Yes, molding on the car will be blacked out. The wheels on Hellfire are sick and I like them. But, I like a wheel with a lip and some depth. I think those wheels are a monoblock (one-piece) wheel.

I am not sold on an all black wheel on a dark blue car. I would get a rendering before dropping that much coin on wheels. Ben’s renderings are a reasonable price.

I am the same. There are rare exceptions, but to me overly dark wheels loose the detail you pay for.

I love Forgeline.. but those HRE's are hot!

Ok I retract my black wheels on a blue car comment. In fact I deny saying it...
