Default Wheel color poll...

Chopped some crap onto my broken-*** car... black mirrors, gt wing, route-KS ZAZ skirt flares, JP aero front lip, not sure if I should leave the wheels raw aluminum, or install black pearl wheels instead:

I have the Kinesis K29 18/19's in raw aluminum, and BBS LM 17/18's in black pearl, I am trying to determine which one would fit better with the modifications I intend to install.

I used to have HRE 545R in black/polished, it doesn't really fit the car's current look, more of an old school GT appearance, instead of the racy stance the car has now. Either raw aluminum, on Kinesis race wheels, or black pearlescent, on BBS... these are the two options I have, and the two options I like.

Go with the Kinesis then... You changed the photo from when I originally posted. You had the same pics posted with the Kinesis photoshopped black.

No offense, I love NSXs but your car ruins them for me. It looks to tacky. Take some of that aero crap off, keep the BBS LMs and get them refinished to original silver with polish lip and call it a day. Just my .02 cents.

Yeah, I didn't have the same angle with the BBS, the replacement picture has the actual wheels installed in both cases, just changed color pattern of the lip, mirrors, and added side flares.

I guess it's a good thing you don't have to worry about it

I really like the wing, it looks all business and very functional. I think the car looks great and would benefit from either all black wheels (no polished lip) or completely polished wheels (not raw). I strongly prefer black wheels with the black accents though (mirrors etc)
