Default Sweet Ride

If you don't mind my asking how was the Jake application done on your hood? Decal or separate paint work? Very nice.

As for the black wheels I think it's a toss up and can't visualize that change. Your ride is very nice now but without seeing it with black wheels I can't establish an opinion on that change. It will not be a subtle change to go all BLACK. My guess it will be a bit over the top and the current wheels add some contrast and you'll loose that with black wheels and black body panels. IMHO

I say Black Centers with Chrome Lips would be a perfect touch

Thanks for all the comments!
Yes i think i go with the black wheels.
The Jake on the hood is a decal and the other is CNC made.

Very, very nice . . . "ya sure". All kinds of wheel combos out there to choose from. It would be tough for me as well.

Car looks awesome, not sure about the black wheels though, I like the contrast you have with the current wheels.

I think the comp gray wheels would be perfect for that car. It would still provide some contrast but would be subtle and sinister looking.

Beautiful car regardless of what you do with it.

nice pics, great car I like the idea of black centers and chrome lips for wheels. All black would be too 1 dimensional.

Love the car but man that is one big-azz JAKE! I'm not a fan of the all-black look, I like the contrast of the aluminum wheels.

Black car, black rims, black tint, black leather! Jay-Z even approves all black!

Cheers!
