I love this wheel in Black and chrome but the all chrome is growing on me now. Please let me know your thoughts.

I think the black would look really cool on your car.

Chrome gives it more bling & the Black gives it a more agressive look. I do like the chrome a little better

Personally, I am partial to the OEM polished aluminum wheels. :D Given the choice between the two that you show, I think that I'd like to see the black ones on your MM. Its kinda hard for me to visualize the effect without seeing them on the car .... but the Black ones would be my first choice. ;)

OK, either the all chrome, or find one that's all black. No black and chrome on the same wheel. All chrome for the shiny sparkling in the sun look, or all black for the badazz stealth, I'll kick your little foreign fartcan azz look.

I would agree but I cannot do the solid black. There has to be something there to break it up, not a lot but something. Just like the badge in the grill...it is just enough to break the monochrom to make it look right. Same with the chrome trim around the windows. Thanks though.

I agree Blue...I love the OEM look but it is time to shake things up a bit. I can't be the fastest yet so I might as well try to win a few shows if I enter. The Marauder is a hands down winner in it own right but I think the addition with lock it in.

Prepare to do a lot of PITA cleaning. I had multi spokes on my last car, will not do that again. :rolleyes:

[grampaws]

Can't go wrong with either. The chrome will stand out more...
Chrome!!:beer:

I hear ya!
I've got Enkei black 'basket mesh'/polished rims on my Mustang and they are a MAJOR PITA to clean and to keep the brake dust off the spokes.

Those are nice looking rims in either style. What size and offsets are offered?

I'm not a big fan of All Black rims...Too Ricer....you gotta have some chrome to set the wheel off.

On a black car I think that the chrome wheel would look better.

[Blackened300a]

I personally feel that the black Rim would look best on the Black car. If you had a Silver, DTR, or blue, then all chrome.

[Big House]

The Black. Thanks gents for making this a less than painful decision but I think I will be pleased with it and am looking forward to the new look. Only thing though... I will be the Black sheep at all of our CAM meets. Thanks again. :beer: :beer:

+1 for the Chrome!

Since you asked, neither works for me.

I think the webbing/spokes are to angular and thin for a car like ours. There is no continuity between the "design" of the wheels and the design of the car.

Any chance someone could photoshop them onto the car? Maybe I would warm up to them.
