Do you think that they might look good if you left the center hub polished and only coated the spokes? That way you might get a floating bit of chrome in the middle- I don't know what it would look like, just an idea. It would be a little different than the typical black spoke/ polished lip wheel that is getting so popular.

I'm thinking I'll like the entire middle area black. All the wheels people have had powder coated black they always leave the center hub chrome.

they'll look good, but personally ive never been too fond of smootie IIs. first off the price is crazy, but the spokes are too sharp. it looks weird to me.

Well I picked the wheels up from Jesse today. I can't wait to get them on, if I have time I'll put them on later today but I won't have pictures until Sunday when I'm at Outlaw.
I would have put them on right away but my little Honda's speedo wasn't working so I had to fix that first since it is the car I drive to work everyday.

Right now I'm thinking I'll put them on and see how the car looks. If I think it'll look better with black spokes then I'll have them powder coated.
I really think I will like them better black but I figtured I might as well see what they look like polished for now.

Exactly and with all the black on my car they will just flow better. That and the chrome look will just stand out to much to me.

i know what ya mean. the way i look at my car, chrome would stand out too much. most is all black. but when my car is clean and its so damn shiney, that chrome is all that would work cuz its the only thing that shines more than my paint
