hmmm a silver stripe would be different,but the design of the wheel would make it look weird I think since the spokes extend to the "lip" of the wheel.Def. debatable though.

id keep them black.. bronze would look funky with all the black going on in the front imo

if anything maybe like a gunmetal (or silver to blend with the car) if you really felt like changing things up.. but thats totally up to you

These are both good Ideas.I think your right padlock about bronze.It wont match anything.hmmm.The gunmetal or silver/black combo may look really good.decisions decisions.I would rather do one color though,as taping them off for 2 tone would be a pita.lol.Well see.

Robert,Purple is a terrible idea.Shame on you

No.I think the "sleeper" effect is long gone with my gauges on the A pillar and what my license plate says haha.My cars pretty low,and I know I would destroy the lip pretty quick.I know eventually I'll end up putting the front lip on anyways but right now,I'm more focused in fixing my wheels,then getting the rest of the SS panels.
