go with all black only if your going to use nice big white wall tires...
LOL seriously though........go with A If all black then you don't even look at the wheels, the silver lip brings out much needed contrast that draws your eyes into it.

Looked at it. I think it is a good thing that there are silver rivits to offset the black on the wheels. All black is good if you are trying to keep people from looking at it, like when you are embarased at the pattern, design, style. Accent colors are good if you want people to look, like when you are proud of the wheels you spent money on.

remember, he is going for the "stealth" look. and i think for that look, it needs to be all black. trust me, you'll see the wheels. and you'll see the big brakes behind it.
Dang... that's cool - I would never have thought that a 1980 F-Body could look good with scissor doors!
That's what I said too.

Yes. The stealthy wide body look.

I saw a black Avalanche today with blacked out wheels and a chrome lip, it was HOT! So I still vote A and it would seem that the blacked out center is the new look for the 21st century. I may have to reconsider my look for #14...hmmmm
I really don't know what I'd buy if i was spendin the big bucks for some wheels, mine was cheap just had then painted gloss black with clearcoat. Here's some pics to help not make up your mind, I love then all. How about red

Bring the wheels to West Fest Curly... I will bring a can of black spray paint, and a can of as close to chrome as possible. I will also bring a jar of Lye, so that we can get the paint of in the meantime! Then we can see which ones look the best!

------------------ "Real American Heroes - Today we solute you, Mr. Ford Truck Towing A Fiero Guy. When most people don't even know what a Fiero is, let alone just where the motor is, you seem to somehow fit right in. You see the looks people give to that car with the PIAA light conversion, the 2" drop springs, big scoops on the hood, and the 19" tires that are bigger than the car itself, and get a kick out of their reactions. You get all warm and gooshy inside by knowing you help out children in need by putting smiles on their faces, whenever you drive by with that car on the trailer all lit up with neon. A car that isn't made anymore, is kept alive by being the prize posession of most of their owners who spend 5 times more than what they paid for them to gain a few more horsepower, and loose a couple seconds off their 1/4 mile, and spend many of nights sleeping "in the dog house" because of it. You help them save their paychecks on tow bills by being the "Fieros West & WCF Support Vehicle". So crack open a drink, Fiero Tower Guy, and know that the Fiero community appreciates your participation & support. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be able to show Corvettes and Porches just how Mean the "M" in 2M6 can get!

Is the NSX tranny ready? We can drop-in the NSX and start spraying the rims, hehe. I hope the paint will hold using the NSX.
I always found that word being used to describe that color a little odd. That is not the color of any metal part on any gun I have ever owned. Not even close, and I own a lot of guns. More than I could possibly lift anyway. Well, The old Ithica is close, but that's just cause the blueing has gone to hell.

I'd go for the black with a chrome lip, nice contrast...
However, I kinda like the all black... it says you're not trying to attract attention, you know what you got and you dont care what other people think. One of my dream cars is a semi gloss/almost primer RX-7 with black wheels and a single turbo. I have no idea why but I think it looks amazing.
I've got to vote "a". The all black reminds me of a set of chrome wheels that the plating chipped off of, so they were painted all black. But that's just MY opinion..
