Help me decide on how to finish my Volk GTS' ... Poll (photoshop thanks to boostlee)
 
Thanks to BoostLee I was able to get some pictures of my new wheels in a few different color variations from when I test fit them. The Rears in this picture have an 8mm spacer, I have a 10mm spacer now for when they are mounted, but these pics give a fairly accurate picture of what each variation would look like.

I need to refinish these do to the previous owner staining the lips with acidic soap so I have some options as to what color to make them. The re-polishing route is the most expensive, black route is the cheapest, but that is not really a main concern.

Options are

1) Re-polish Lip and leave center OG volk color, mercury silver
2) Powder Coat lip Gloss Black and Center Flat or Matte Black
3) Re-polish Lip and powder coat center GunMetal

Im torn between leaving silver and the black/black route..

LMK what you think! Thanks

Here are the pics

The all black has always been my favorite!

voted keep silver w/ polish lip; definitely a clean and status look; my favorite wheel finish
Also put it this way: it is a look that will never get old with the times & brings definition to any car color; in my honest opinion, black, grey or any other color wheel finish distracts your eye from the rest of the car, while silver /polish lip compliments any color and matches just right without drawing away too much attention;
It comes down to your personal preference tho

I think you lose the detail of the wheels if you get them done in black, the gunmetal being a lil darker in color than the sliver looks good and kinda goes with your blacked out rear and since you have the rear blacked out I'm going to guess you have blacked out fangs, my vote is for the gunmetal

Gunmetal with polish! It looks great in person, ive seen a set on a 350 and they looking really nice

:iagree:

Gun Metal with Polished lip.

I think you should do flat gunmetal center, satin black lip, with a red time-attack stripe. That would go well with your car too I think.
