Thanks again for all your guys input. I have a while until I can buy them so I will be thinking a lot about the style and color. While I do value your opinions, I will get what I like. And Bert, it may even be the Sears wheels

I do appreciate the tip on Ebay, I was thinking about buying them from Ebay but if its not a smart thing to do then I will avoid it.

Take it easy.

gunmetal FTW!!!!!!

most stockers come with a light tint so that they match the darker colors as well----silver sticks out WAYYY too much on a black car...

here are the pics of my grey pentas (those falkins are much darker than mine)










while black has recently seen some zeal...gunmetal is timeless. It has always been around and it will always look good

Cru, Neal and Ironpirate,

All your cars do look sweet with the gunmetal rims. I like the color and look, now i just have to find the right design.

I have another question, my car doesn't have the Aero package and I really do not like the black trim on the bottom of the car. I was wondering, can that trim be smoothed and painted to match the car?

Thanks again for the pics and info.

^^ Yes, many people have done that, and had the skirts painted to match the rest of the car. I will be doing it aswell.

I can't say I recommend Edge Racing -- there are too many horror stories about them.

For a black car, I would probably tell you to stick with silver wheels. Black or gunmetal wheels make it look like a Police Interceptor.

Yeah i agree go with gunmetal on a black car. Black on black is sorta played out. I really like the Axis Pentas on your ride Neal. Very classy and at the same time gives it a tougher look with the gunmetal.

I would look for some black chrome wheels if you can find any. Those look sooo sweet.

As for the non-aero. Talk to Chad or wait and see if we can do another GB.

A color matched aero kit could probably be had for a very reasonable price. Look into it.

Hell, if my car looks like a cop car then people will get out of my way and the real cops will leave me alone. That would be nice
