Day pics, but it is really dark and overcast! I think it will grow on me, I know when I usually do a major change it takes a bit for me to start to appreciate it? LOTS of double take lookers on the way to work today, not sure if it was because they thought they were hideous or liked them? I need to see what they look like at 80mph? Thanks for all the input, all your opinions are more than welcome!

I actually have smoked out the tailights and the front markers. I plan to do the headlights soon! All windows are tinted as well. Thanks for the input!

I think the problem is because there is no contrast between the tires and the rims so the wheels just look like a big black circle. With a IP coupe, black rims w/o maybe a little contrasting chrome looks I agree "hub-cappish".....

Maybe some slotted rotors might give it some contrast???

But, if you like them, that's all that matters....I agree with some of the others....not for me either.

This is how I originally got the idea. I tend to agree a bit that all the black runs together, I will play with a couple of ideas to seperate the wheels from the tires!

White wall tires????

I think the fact that that BMW is Graphite/Gray and has thinner spoked rims that the black looks ok and has more of a contrast.

The boldness/thickness of the G35's spokes makes the black stand out too much w/ less contrast to the surrounding tires compared to the bimmer's rims? Does this make sense?

 

no disrespect bro but you have officially done to the g35 what all the civic owners do to there civics it looks horrible im sorry man. i know i came on strong but thats just how i see it

Damm BlackG, thats a little deep haha!!! I think it looks very sporty/JDM/racey but still not my style, def. needs some contrast but it is very unique and a great looking job you did !

No offense taken bro, speak freely! I really can say that the pictures are not doing it any justice, it look a lot better in person. Here is a hi resolution picture that defines the wheels a bit more. I have to disagree with you in respect to "what Civic owners do", this is totally different? I wanted a different look and powdercoating is the best possible finish you can put on wheels and I upgraded the tires sizes to assist in better handling, so all in all, what I did makes sense, you just don't like the color and I totally respect that!
