Going Black

I'm most likely going black for now, and have narrowed it down to 3 choices. Each set ranges between 2,000-2,500K. Which would you pick?

I don't think you should get the speedsters though... (because I have them in 20's)

Yes I got the II. I didn't have much of an option as the only other one I could get was the three piece 1 (which was around a $1,000 a rim), all because of my brembos in the front.

How do they look? Are they shiny or is it kind of a dull black?

The Niche wheel is holdin' it down. Although the Axis would prolly look good too when its on the car in 19's.

Can't vouch for the other two, but I know a few people with Axis in 18 that have bent rims on typical potholes throughout NJ/PA/NY.

red-cl was one of them He bent a few of them and his were 18s.

I would only do 19s if I found a hgh-quality forged wheel. Jeez I didn't even drive my car much with my wheels on and I bent all four of my Racing Hart 3-piece wheels, and they're forged.

Oh they're shiny all right. It's a glossy black. They look really nice after a wash. See for yourself

I have a feeling I'm gonna bend a few, I'll try and change my driving style but I highly doubt it. I guess I will to cry alot and buy wheels when they bend. I'm gonna really splurge next year on wheels. Gonna get some money up for some Work wheels.

Go with the Fooses. I'm waiting on some contest results which will decide if I'll be purchasing a set for myself. I might get chrome though. It's so hard to decide.
