Anyone care to opine?

I'm finishing up my car in the next few weeks, and I've run into a dilemma. Initially, I thought I would paint the centers of my wheels all black, now I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Don't worry about the rake on the car, the engine is out. But it does give that crazy 70's hijacker look!

I haven't gotten to lowering the car yet, and with the engine out and new shocks...

I'm thinking I like the all black ones. I never really liked wheels with multiples of 4, so having it blacked out looks good to me. More Porschy.

That is what I was thinking when I painted the rear. I've never liked the all polished look. I wanted something different. I see lots of cars that have the standard configuration, but few with any variation. I think I will finish them all in black, but I wanted to see everyones opinion.

I'd go with the solid black (or charcoal gray)... :agree:
