Need Help with new Wheel Colors

[Jtomas801]

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.

I really think polished hoops/lips would look better on your car than black regardless of the center color on the wheels.

I'm not a fan of all black wheels ON THE CAR. They look great until they have tires mounted on them and you stand back from the car. They just disappear. Take your time and make the right decision. Go on Forgelines website and look through all the galleries.

You could be right, but If do something different with the door numbers and add some graphics I may be able to pull this off.

I just got done with a few things I had to do today and now is the time for me to make the phone call. going to spend another hour or so thinking about it and then I'm making the call.

Decided on the GA3R, just need to ponder colors a bit more.

Been back and forth many times to the site. Went through every gallery multiple times.

I'm thinking a glossy outer will shine through. Don't know what it is but All Black just keeps running through my mind.

Gotta agree with Todd on this one. But that's my opinion.

Here's a photo of Mary Pozzi's 73 with an all black GA3R and her car is the new 5th gen Orange:



Here's Steilow's Red Devil with black center GA3R with brushed hoops, I like this better. Or with polished hoops even better on your car:

Rybar, I went back to the Forgeline site and heres the polished and silver and the black. Thanks for the pic's, I totally see your point. Maybe polished with silver would look better? Or polished with black? What do you think?
