Which do you prefer?
So 2 of the wheels I bought had damage to the stainless steel jacket that Rays uses. The jackets can't be replaced so the shop is attempting to remove the jackets from the wheels. If they can they are going to powder coat the wheels for me. So I need help deciding on what color to go with...

1. Gloss Black
2. Satin Black
3. Satin Black W/ Machined face

I'm leaning towards number 3. BTW Specs are 19x9 +20 and 19x10+20

if i have to choose from 1-3 i would go for 3. but then i think gold/machined lip will also look good.

Stock car as of now. Doing F&F Type 1s, Aspec, Blackout Headlights. Going for simple clean and effective. The wheels will be the focal point of the car

then i would say 3, especially if you want them to be the focal point of the car



cause 1 and 2 will just kinda blend in some (the shiny part will make the "focal point" )

Jackets are the stainless lip that is put on wheels with polished lips. They are a thin piece of metal that is pressed and glued on and then pressed around the seam. So my stainless lips are bent but the actual rim itself isn't. I should have taken pics before I dropped em off

WOW, what a cheap ass way to get a polished lip, the wheel manufacture can't even make the rim nice enough to just polish it directly

There is one other option I have but I dunno about... Water transfer printing. I could hydro print them in anything from carbon fiber, to brushed or even urban camo....

I kind of like that idea but we'd need to see some pictures of the car.
