Paolo,
When you first make the post, there is an option (lower down) that you can select POLL and then enter the number of options—default is 4, max. is 10.
FWIW, I like black centres with polished rims, but the all-black is a very "tough" look.

I have Black centers on my mags on the Cobra. After 33 years, any other color would not look right.
On a GT40, I guess it would also have to be Black centers. I wonder if that would last for another 33 years?

HATE TO ADMIT IT: After 2 years of arguing with FRAN (RCR builder), car was delivered with "BLACK WHEELS" and I think I like them after all.

I love black wheels. The decision to get all black wheels, balck with polished rims, or polished wheels quiteliterally keeps me awake at night. And I don't even own a GT40 yet. That is so sad (BUT I BET I AM NOT ALONE)

IMO I think that all black only works if you've got bold white tyre scripts (like the Hoosier ones) - gives a kind of motorsport vibe. | |

I recently changed my wheel from white color to black but my personal opinion is black wheels are reduce the look, it's look like a old car.. | |

They don't show brake dust, or not much anyway. But I won't be having them on mine.
