Default Too much or just enough?

I'm thinking about powdercoating my wheels and I'm on the fence about how it looks. I've had the wheels for years though and they were used before I bought them. I have completely refinished the lips by hand but the spokes are looking a little worn and they need some work. I just wanted to get some opinions, once I go black I hear I can never go back!

The first pic is my car with tinted taillights, headlights, and windows and Axis Milano wheels.




These are bverschage's pics he posted on this forum... I hope he doesn't mind me using them, his Z is awesome.

If you don't care about the extra weight added to the wheels then go for it. The black looks very sharp.

They're 26lbs, I have track wheels too. I doubt I would feel the difference in the weight of the powder.

BTW, I already have Black and polished wheels...

Wow.. I'd go with the black look as long as you leave the lip chrome looking.

Silver all the way considering you already have a set of black rims that look very nice. Use the money for something else.

I prefer the all silver look, then again my taste in wheels is different from most. I like smooth lines, no little bolt thingies, and all one color.

Black wheels make the wheel look tiny, reminds me of a spare donut wheel.

I'm starting to agree with that. I might change them one day but I believe for now they'll be staying silver. Thanks for all the opinions guys, they helped with my choice.
