Gunmetal or Black
Sunday, July 08, 2007 3:59 PM
Rims are 18" Tenzo R Mean 6

Right now there are gunmetal but I'm thinking of getting them painted black....Just did a quick photoshop here....

Black would look better with the CF hood and dark tint I think.............What do you guys think??

I'm about equally fond of each. I'd probably pick gunmetal myself, but the black really does look good on your car.

Even though I like black, gunmetal looks the best on your car. I might even change to gunmetal.

Gunmetal (hearing the sound of millions fainting everywhere).

The silver around the rim ruins the black look.

Thanks for the opinions guys!

Regardless, it ruins the look--it looks like you need to take the rims back and tell them to finish painting them, and not to try to cheat you again...

I disagree. The polished lip is exactly why I liked the black wheels at all in the first place -- and I'm not normally a fan. It's a great accent on a silver car. If a person wanted straight black wheels, they could just run on winter rims year round.

Gunmetal looks sexy. I'm a fan of both polished and unpolished lips. But for yours, that gunmetals flows a little nicer and there are quite a few of silver cavi owners who have that same look of black on silver.

id say black..

i like both of them equally, but i think the black wheels go better with the tint and hood. plus i like the black because you cant see all those little studs (i dont know what there called?) that go around by the outer lip..
