Thanks for the replies so far everyone. I think it's going to be black w/polished lip. My only thing against it is that it's being done by everyone nowadays, but it does look good.

Aaron - I like the time attack, but agree it would clash with the tan. Would look good with black interior and great with red and black interiors.

Paul - I like bronze and gold as well for black. I ran across a bronze powdercoated ap1 wheel and didn't think it looked right; that's why it wasn't on the list. I couldn't find a gold one and would be interested in seeing one, but I heard that it is a tough color to maintain (needs to stay clean to look good). Being that they will be my winter wheels and not getting cleaned as often, I tried to stay away from gold.

Abhi - I'll call around and see if we can get any better prices doing 8 wheels vs 4 wheels and get back to you.

If anyone else still wants to add an opinion, go for it. I'm not dead set on this color, and got a little while until I send it off too the powdercoaters.

Tan calipers; that would be a sight to see. Calipers are on the list of things to do, but at least a few down. I was actuallly thinking black or gold. Red calipers kinda scream "look at these", but I've got nothing there to show off Almost the same thing with gold too, but I've got awhile to decide.

Back to topic: Gloss Black or Satin Black?

Pls. don't do them in satin black looks plain and simple. Do it in style glossy black with polished lip...just like this one on the picture. Anyway it's really up to you though. You can't go wrong either way.....but i like gloss black.
