these wheel ideas.

Regardless of HOW they look, I AM going to go with 00 R wheels. I want the clearance for the 13in brakes that will go on in year three and 9.5 meat is good to. I DONT like polished or painted wheels. To me, wheels SHOULD be chrome. However, I saw a GT with blacked out Rs. It was freakin tough looking. Now, the choice is, do I powder coat, or just do my tried and true Krylon? That saves a LOT of money and I can easily repaint for touch up. Second thing, doing black out means I can get the cheaper painted rims instead of chrome. HOWEVER, I think what would look BEST is a black spoke center with a chrome rim edge. I wouldnt save any money and thats an expensive way to get a shiny rim lip, but I think it would look THE best by far. I could do the Krylon thing and that would allow me to strip and go back to chrome if I wanted to upgrade to other rims and trade or if I just got tired of the black treatment.

Thoughts? Comments?

I would go with any type of chrome wheels. The cobra 'R' chrome wheels look good. I have polished/chrome svt wheels on my white cobra and it looks clean and classy.

But what about the black out look? Or black with the chrome edge?

You have to be careful with the black out look. I have seen some cars that look hitious with blacked out wheels. I think if you have a spider web looking wheel that is blacked out and a chrome lip it would look sweet.
