Is it too late to vote, because I go neither....Go with a brushed aluminum with black center for the Road Warrior look. Polished is too Bling...All black and you lose the entire tire/wheel package.
$.02 worth of opinion...

This Jessie James car is bad as hell! It was at the bar I work at last Thursday for a coors promotion. It costs $15k to have it delivered and displayed for 6 hours. Jessie James costs another $24k so he wasn't with the car. One of the guys who was with the car helped build it and had all kinds of stories about it. He said that it is running in the mid 900hp range. Jessie lit the tires up once and they had to buy new rims because both tires blew after about 30 seconds and he kept on going right into the pavement on bare wheels. Why should they care Coors payed for the car to be built, next on their list is my fiero The car was very sweet! G.

I watched the show "Overhauled" last night. They did an overhaul on a 94 Honda and I was about to the channel when I saw the 5-star Fosse rims. However, the bastards took it a step further by painting the 5-spoke center gunmetal gray. Yes, an extra step that isn't offered I'm guessing? Anyway, the combination was just what I liked. The rivets and inner lip remained chromed while the 5-spokes where painted.
I hate this show but I'm glued to Chip Fosse and his talent. If they would concentrate on the making of the car instead of the cloak and dagger antics of playing tricks on the owner of the car...damn! The stupid hair and false teeth nearly had my finger on the clicker…ready to change the channel.
Okay, end of rant.
Oh well, biker build-off is on tonight. They don't mess around there...they get right down to business.

I dont what you are paying for wheels but I am pretty sure it is a lot. Drop me an email and see what I have available as I am an agent for 2 of the largest wheel companies in Australia. One of which manufactures wheels for Ferrari. I recently quoted a guy on some 18X10 and 18X12 rims in a 5X 100 bolt pattern to suit his Ferrari replica and they came to $3500 delivered to his door. Not bad for a wheel Ferrari themself use.

Can anyone tell me what "DUB" is? I see it all over the place, from stickers on cars to die-cast models sold at Wal-Mart. Trust a "stock-addict" like me to not know! Can someone PM me with an answer?
THANKS

DUB, DUBS, Twenties, 20's = a slang trim used to represent a 20-inch rim in diameter or bigger. Popularized by the DUB mag, rappers, and celebs. Look here for pics and detailed talk on going phat rims. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/035277.html
22's or bigger are known as "wagon-wheels, pan-cakes" ect...

Via Google: A dub is a wheel or rim that is 20" in size (The term "dub" was derived as a slang term for twenty, from "double dime" or two tens.) Some can be chrome or polished aluminum-alloy. "Dub two"'s are 22" wheels or rims styled similar to standard "dubs". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_(wheel)

Anyone know what 84s are? Bet no one here knows without searching for it. hehe
Why pay so much money just to hide them with black paint?
I totally agree...all the black does it "tone down" the wheels so that they blend in with the rest of the car. If you must paint it black use black paint that is super glossy or has a "wet" look to it.

i'd say A if the car is all black, if it was white then all black wheels, all black wheels on a black car doesnt look good in my opinion, blends in too much...
