I did mine in satin black to let the polished rims stand out; they look great but I'm not altogether convinced they wouldn't look better with a splash of colour

At what point did i say wrapped? Liquid transfer printing is different.
It all depends on the style of the rest of the car, how its being used and whether you want to do something different

Gotta agree with one eye and Tom, would look great powder coated in a nice anthracite imho, but not sure if that's gonna fit with your car, done in oew to match the roof? Leave the carbon fibre in a tin to the chin holders, peeps will be stretching tights over their rear lights soon LOL

Black/polished is gay. Black/black is manly!

Once you go black, you won't look back.

I always find that when you paint a wheel black you loose the detail especially on a 10 inch rim. Mine are abit lairy but at least they stand out 😃

black wheels blend in alot, especially black on black

carbon wrapping i agree is horrible and would look tacky

anodised centres can look good
but if you can afford it i'd keep it simple with diamond cut centres *happy*
