The lugs and decals on the spokes will give some nice contrast. The calipers look just plain awful.

Not really feeling the s1s in full black but the silver decals look pretty sick.

Thanks guys. My black lugs should be coming in the next few days. ill keep you updated and keep the comments coming. still not sure if i should put the spoke decals on. if so i would think itll have to match the color of the lip decals.

The second set of pictures look much better. Please get a good camera and take some full shots of the car and the wheels and then of the wheels themselves. I like the concept, its just hard to tell with the weird camera.

I still think this setup has huge potential...

There has been countless examples of way uglier wheels on these forums that look great because the owner presented them so. Photography, stance, angle... we can be pretty fickle when it comes to these factors.

Get it together and send us more quality pix bro.

bottom line is....the wheels are F'd up, also tuner lug nuts isn't lock anymore...everyone got a key...if you're gonna go black'd out, get the wheels that are already black ex: time attack, matte, flat

I think you need the spoke decal on there. The paint made them look like rotas in my opinion (take it as you will). I think half of the meisters' allure is their finish. They're still very nice wheels, though.

oh my god dude what exactly was the paint process??? Did you just give those to someone to mask off and spray?!

The barrels are still silver and the rivets are obviously just painted over...I'm not a fan of the look, but at least you could have had someone take apart your $3500 wheels if you wanted them painted!!! Please tell me I'm wrong...

Looks good man I love black on black. Used to have a wrx murked out kinda went the complete opposite on the Z but I miss it. Wheels look great and I think you need a proper photoshoot to get the full effect of them. Any specs on the wheels? offsets, width, etc?

Keep them coming guys. Thanks for the comments. Im currently working on those spoke decals. and as for them taking my wheels apart. they say that if they did there could be problems with leaking when putting it back together. I felt as if nothing is better than how it came out of factory.

Looks decent. I would have left the bolts polished for sure though. Would look so much better!! Would look even better if you gold plated the bolts and had some neo chrome lugnuts. Like someone else said also they could have at least painted the back of the wheels too!!
