Thoughts??
Ok...first, please excuse the REALLY bad photochop...What do you think about the matte stocks (powder coated) and the outter grill ring body color (inner black).

i don't like the grill.
i like the idea of powder coating our rims, i love the shape of our rims. the matte black rims aren't bad, but i'd go with gloss black.

I'm not really liking the grill either now that I did that and look at it more...I'd like to see the rims as glossy but I don't know how to add gloss with photoshop. I really like other rims better but I am so anal about cleaning the brake dust off and our stocks are SO easy to wipe off that I think I would go crazy with CSLs...

I like the idea of dark wheels on montego blue. Looks good. I don't know about what you did to the grills. If you go black wheels, why not get those shadowline grills to match? Good looking combo btw.

OK...I actually like the grille frame.
And wouldn't the wheels look like that anyway if they weren't washed for about 2 weeks

How about this...shadowline grills (or my VERY poor chop of them), smoked side marker, tails, amber cover and black rims. I already have 20% tint all the way around but am too lazy (and it's dark for me right now) to go take another pic so I poorly chopped the tint on to see the "whole" picture...

Anyone know how to make the rims glossy? I'd like to se them glossy or at least semi-gloss as I don't want them to look like wheels just covered in brake dust!!!
I thought the grill frame would set it apart from others with the shadowline grills but I'm not sure I like how it looks in my first chop...

I'd do black grilles and keep the wheels silver, myself.
