Default Makeover time

Going to powdercoat my AP1 wheels and narrowed it down to a few choices. I've got an idea of what I think I'm going to do, but would like to hear others' opinions. Open to other color suggestions, but they better be good

Some pics are a little big, but I wanted to show some detail.

Gunmetal:




Black w/polished (more lip plain) lip:



Time Attack:

Black/Polish.

Got me thinkin' on Bronze/Polish for mine now. My lips have clearcoat chipping, might as well play with 'em.

CE's for summer, AP1's for winter. I think the hardtop and stock wheels would look a little funny so I'm adding some flavor to them.

Black/polish, maybe gunmetal/polish . The gunmetal wouldn't look right on a BB S nor does the time attack. But the time attack did look good on the NFR.

I think the Time Attack would only look good if your interior were red or black/red. It would clash with the tan (and you cant ditch the tan!).

I'm going to agree with Huy. Polished lip either way.

I kind of like bronze or gold on black, but the tan interior kind of throws it off. I've never liked dark wheels or polished lips much.

Once upon a time there was this dude but I think he sold it a couple years back. I really liked the look of that car, though it was excessively lowered.

I like the black w/polished lip on Berlina. A friend of mine had a set of black w/polished lip iForged wheels on his Berlina and they looked great.
