Hey, pete, great minds also disagree, but at the same time, nevertheless.

No, I agree - I've never cared for the silver around the rim look - but I certainly like the direction the black rims are taking this "project".

Okay - I'm not master at Photoshop so leave the comments to yourselves. But, I spent a bit of time adjusting a few things like adding an aero kit, new wheels, etc. I think with a few changes it could look great.

Tell me what you think... (damn, forgot to deamber the side markers!)

I agree. Also, I think these rims are really gun-metal (silverish) black. I have a feeling totally black rims (perhaps with a yellow circle line where the rim touches the tire) will look really cool.

Thx, sp. Very interesting and unique Box! They both look better than the silver (caps/lips), but I like the total black wheels slightly better. Perhaps if the yellow line was thinner -- this way it looks like the tires are yellow-walled.
Oh, and I'd keep the A pillars yellow.
