      Black or Chrome

      OK, so it's spring now and I need to make a decision soon here. I bought these foose wheels when DriverzInc had them on sale last spring, but to be honest, I wasn't loving them when I got them. Two of them got scratched, so I had two spares, so I powdercoated the two scratched ones to see if I like black better. I still can't make up my mind. So, I'm starting a poll. Which look better, Black or Chrome? Here's a pic of the wheel up close...


      And here is the car with the wheels on them....

      If you go with black, kill all the chrome and powdercoat it a satin grey or something.

      I'm actually considering powder coating all the chrome and stainless in black chrome.

      Chrome, although black chrome or grey centers may look pretty good

      I am not a fan of the the way the black was applied leaving the chrome edge on the spokes and center. If you were to do the spokes and center in all black leaving the lip or dish chrome it would look better (IMO)

      Otherwise I think all chrome.
