Which wheel finish?

[JLM]

With my plan to my have '69 firebird on the road and completed by mid to late spring, in time for summer, I need to get wheels on order.
I have decided on the wheel, but not precisely the finish.
The wheel I'll be going with on the car is the Boze Forged "Shifter." (first wheel pictured)

Do I go with the charcoal center and polished ring, or in complete satin black?

The wheels will be in 17x8 and 18x10 fitments running 245, and 285 section width tires.

The car's project name is "Charcoal Pheonix" and keeping with that theme the car will be plenty black.

The polished ring will break up some of the black from the car, wheel, and tire, but being polished aluminum without a clear, maintenance can become an issue.

The all black wheel maintenance will be less over time.

You could do a satin center and then a black chrome outer hoop. I've personally always thought that a 100% black rim is too much, but that's my personal opinion.

Agreed 100%.
Black car,black wheel,black tire= too much black.
Break it up somewhat...
