Gloss silver looks nice, the whole black wheel thing on a black car is getting worn out. Plus it reminds me of cheap steelies !

The gloss silver has a nice amount of flop to it.

Plus it's your ride, why not make it what you want vs what others like? Your the one who has to live with it!

You can't go wrong with silver it looks good on everything!

However I think black looks great on some cars. Mainly SUVs like Cayennes, the big mercedes G wagons, and of course the X5M

I just ordered a set of black wheels because I've always wanted a black on black SUV and I think it'll look badass on a Carbon Black X5M

As long as you have some very nice hardware behind it! . Then the black wheels are ok

I missed the 12-hour poll, but I think brushed with dark tint would be awesome!

Hi guys!

Thanks to you that chimed in. The wheels are being finished in a HRE brushed clear with a drop of tint. It'll give the contours of the wheels a light gray look at angles while still looking brushed at others. They should turn out pretty cool, and will look amazing universal across all colors.

They will be fore sale too!
