this is the actual color of the car

yea i planned on either black chrome with black or getting a local shop to match the textured black powder on all the trim
if its gunmetal i'm gonna get all the trim the same color
not a fan of brightwork i like it kinda darker/non existant
i plan on yellow being the only color on the car period everything else is black white grey etc. the yellow is only there as a place holder until i get the funds together for the body work
need more votes they are neck and neck at the moment lol

Gunmetal
Gunmetal is cool.
How are you getting theses rims to fit. I was interested in theses but couldn't get the correct offset for my 69 Camaro. I would have had to run spacers
gunmetal.
move back another 10 feet with the camera and those black wheels will dissapear into oblivion. black wheels are one fad that just can't die soon enough.

offsets are different between the cars especially in the rear the fronts would fit perfectly (8.5 wide) but i would need to run a 4mm spacer on the rear if i run a 9" wide rim no spacer at all if its a 10" wide rim but a 10mm spacer on a 9.5:confused: (they make them in all sorts of random offsets depending on wheel width) but a 10 would be tight with stock fenderwells
my car needs a +12 front and rear with the factory drum hubs(using ls calipers and c4 13" rotors) and the factory slightly beefed up 10 bolt
also were you looking at the CF5's? or F14's? cause F14's available offsets are totally different from the CF5's
here are the offsets they come in (CF5 wheels only)
CF5 Available Offsets
18"
18×8.5 +10 to +50
18×9.0 +16 to +56
18×9.5 +22 to +62
18×10 +10 to +50
18×11 +23 to +63
18×12 +36 to +75
19"
19x8.5 +10 to +50
19x9.0 +16 to +44
19x9.5 +10 to +50
19x10 +16 to +56
19x11 +29 to +69
19x12 +42 to +82
20"
20×8.5 +10 to +50
20×9.0 +16 to +56
20×10 +29 to +69
20×11 +42 to +82
20×9.5 +2 to +42
20×10.5 +15 to +55
20×12 +34 to +74
anyways still have yet to pull the trigger as work slowed down and rent was more important lol but they are definately coming soon as to the color well you'll have to wait and see :smoke:

I voted gunmetal. I did the textured black om my HD2500, they looked great for about a month. After they got dirty, they looked like crap. It was impossible to get them clean and looking like they did when new. I ended up powdering them gloss black.
