    Refinishing BBS wheels -> Stock Color or Matte Black?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So my wheels have seen better days, and after seeing the new Matte Black BBS CH's it crossed my mind that they would look great...

    Thoughts on a Silver car?

    I'd say stick with silver. Maybe a photoshop would help in your decision?

    Stay silver. The black wheels would look nice on a darker car, and I've seen it look tight on white as well (just saw a totally sick white GT3 with black wheels).

    Re: Refinishing BBS wheels -> Stock Color or Matte Black?

    matte black w/ red lip , and fill in the motorsports lettering in red as well. or you could always go for that rally look and paint them flat white and fill in the MS letters with white or black... thats my opinion.

    Re: Refinishing BBS wheels -> Stock Color or Matte Black?

    Matte black would work really well with your current setup. You've already darkened most of the chrome on the front so matte black wheels would complete (minus window tint, joey mod and amber delete headlights) the contrast with silver and black.

    I'd do a Anthracite if I were in your position.

    i would only sell my Bimotos, at this point, to get CHs and paint em flat black. It'd look sooooo dope.

    You should find some one to do a better PS before you make any decisions. Not that that is bad, its just not amazing.

    I'm pretty decent at photoshop, but the chop with the black wheels didn't turn out as well as I thought. I'm not sure if it was the lighting on the wheel or what. I'm not trying to make excuses, but it was a rather quick chop.
