Bottom line, these threads give you 10 different opinions, but who you trying to please? Yourself, or the masses?

All that said, I honestly don't like any of these wheels for YOUR car. It doesn't fit the theme of your car IMO, unless you are taking it a more Pro Touring direction, which I didn't think you were.

I think your car deserves a more race oriented wheel--- like a CCW or something similar.

I'm going to take a quick look at the CCW but keep in mind the Forgelines I'm looking at are race wheels hence the "R" at the end of the title of the wheel and are lighter than the standard wheel they make..

Keep in mind CCW makes great wheels but they tend to be a bit heavy.

As far as the black goes, trust me, I'm thinking of every possible angle to make black work.

I vote for black centers, brushed, polished, or chrome lip.

I think a satin/matte black center with polished hoops would look good.


17x9.5" and 17x11" ZX3R polished outer hoop, satin center and satin inner hoop. 275's on the front ( got them from you Junky) and 315's on the back.


Ignore the mess, damn construction going on around here


Thanks,
Jon

I like all black too but them white stripes kill it.
i don't think a black center would look good either. Charcoal with a brushed lip might do it....sorry, all i got is 2nd gens for reference.

Thanks for your input Jon. Those pictures are a great reference. This is the toughest decision I have ever had to make on my car and I think the reason for that is that what I want may not go with the paint scheme I have. What I'd love to do is go with an all black wheel. I also like the look of a black outer hoop with a dark gun metal center.

Thanks again for the pictures. They certainly are a big help.

Vince, thanks for saving me before I might have made a wrong decision. I had credit card in hand and was 2 seconds from making the phone call before I talked to you.

Although, looking at Jon's car and the pictures you posted may sway me back to a black center.

I will most likely pull the trigger tomorrow. Expect a phone call from me.

Thinking GA3R's with gloss black outer and matte black center or WC3R's with entire wheel gloss black with polished fasteners.

I think if I lose that big azz white background number on the door I can get away with it.

Trying to find all the pic's I have before throwing door number stickers on it.
