Grey Spoke, Black Spokes, or Black Rims?

Jeffrey,

I guess I'm old school, but I really like the middle one with the black center.

 

[Jack]

I like the middle one, followed by the all black.

 

[Mike]

Looks like a familiar location. I like the black but would do them in a satin and not gloss

 

[Rich E.]

+1 for the black in satin.

 

[Jeffrey]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm torn between the all black and just the spokes black. Some say the deep offset of the widebody rims are show best with the polished rims. Agree that satin is the right choice for the all black - possibly gloss is okay if just the spokes are done. While very much a frivolous topic, I appreciate the input. I know this is one of those things where the answer is - "Just get what you want, who cares what other people think"...but there is a lot of experience on this forum and glad to have the wisdom (like getting satin instead of gloss). Plus, it's a slow day on the forum

Mike, as you know, I think your car (in both it's variations) is absolutely stunning.

One of each set please! I went with all satin black on mine so its #1 for me followed by #2 if 1 set of each isn't in the budget.

middle one. Satin black. Polish the lips.

 

[Larry L.]

The last one (#3...far right). Hands down. No question.


(Isn't it great that we all agree?)

 

[Mike]

All black !! I just ordered a second set of rims and they will be all black !! Nice looking car !!

The middle one. All black has been played out

Why not red; the photo shows my Superformance GT40 with the wheels red, they certainly get some positive comments.

I agree with Mike! Satin Black! Did mine with Plastic Dip. The paint can be peeled off to the original orange/polished look. Works great!

Where did you find such a paint? I like that idea.
My vote is black spoke.

 

[Cliff Beer]

just to be different.....I like the third one (silver/grey spokes).....looks traditional and easy on the eyes. What about gold spokes perhaps?

Dave,
That is exactly what my car will look like !! Spectacular !!

Is this the basically the process you used to paint the rims?

Pretty cool! Might try this on one of my other driver cars that was previously owned by Helen Keller.

Yep... thats it... PlaticDip. They have a bunch of vids on Youtube. The paint is easy to apply and can be coated with a clear to adjust the shine from flat to semi gloss. There is indeed no need to tape off the tires, the paint peels right off when it dries. It would be a good alternative to what ever configuration you choose. The best part... no sanding and the paint can be peeled back to the original color and polish.

Plasti Dip looks to be a fantastic answer to my wheel color dilemma - thank you! Looked through a lot of videos and discussions about it. I will now likely order the car with black spokes, polished rims, then give Plasti Dip a try if I want something different (for a while).
