Default I'm a wheel *****!

Hey guys check out the progression of my car. Been through a few wheels. Heres the progression from earliest to most recent. Let me know which one you thought was the best look. They're all pretty much the same

P.S. Sorry for the poor quality, all taken from my phone

They all look good, but the gunmetal f14's look awesome! Most dont but I love black on gunmetal. Nice setups youve had....and that oem body work looks really good on your car.

I like the second ones best. In general, I like titanium/gunmetal finishes, but I don't think they have enough contrast with a black exterior compared to the standard bright silver finish.

If it were me, I'd go with the setup as in the 2nd pic. Given the 100+ degree summers, with high humidity and poor air quality, I can't condone the black-on-black-on-black-on-black crime.

Love both the third and fourth pix. Probably lean toward the last one as the contrast against black is nice.

I like the fourth set the best. I'm guessing that because you stated this was a progession (with the last pic being your current set) that you agree. Like some of the other responses, I'm not a huge fan of gunmetal on black. For me there's not enough contrast there and I like my wheels to pop.

Thanks for posting the pics. I'm about to start looking for a new set of wheels for my baby and it's helpful to have sample pics of different wheels.
