i honestly hate gold or bronze, but with that finish in those chops they both look really good, especially the bronze.

Thanks guys. I think most people will end up voting for the flat black. I like it too, a lot. I was actually thinking about going all black with a silver or silver/blue metallic flake in it. It's hard to chop it that precisely though.


Here's a chop with black face and red color match lip. I don't really like it though, too much red. It's not really an option for me, just wanted to see how it looked...

I'm sure black will look the best, but black wheels on red car, like gunmetal wheels on silver car, is soooo cliche now. Why don't you go for something different and unique!

I'd go black, but semi-gloss.

A plain old silver like brushed aluminum would look good. In terms of volk colors, mercury silver.

The volk colors, formula silver and diamond black would look good too.

Formula silver



Diamond Black
