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...

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

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.

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 :


And on my Chevelle...

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.

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